InfoSec Institute Launches Industry's Only Security Awareness Training Program for Healthcare Teams


HIMSS18 Cybersecurity Command Center, Booth #8600-47 - March 5, 2018 - InfoSec Institute, the leading provider of cybersecurity awareness solutions and professional IT and security education, today announced the latest updates to its security awareness and anti-phishing platform for healthcare, SecurityIQ. The company added more than 30 new health-specific education modules to SecurityIQ's AwareEd™, the industry's largest interactive awareness training library. Also available in the latest release are new knowledge assessments, learner grading and scorecarding.

With a trusted reputation for providing health institutions worldwide the highest quality, role-based awareness education, InfoSec Institute is proud to include Canton-Potsdam Hospital, Gold Coast Health Plan, Health Intelligence, Terrebonne General Medical Center (TGMC) and Truman Medical Centers among its many healthcare clients.

"We take great pride and responsibility in protecting health organizations and their employees from malicious breaches, phishing and social engineering attacks that may compromise patient data confidentiality," said Jack Koziol, president and founder of InfoSec Institute. "It is our responsibility and mission to arm CISOs, CIOs and essentially anyone with an email address in the organization with the knowledge and determination to beat hackers at their own game," said Koziol.

With stolen protected health information (PHI) worth thousands of dollars on the black market, healthcare is a prime target for cybercriminals. Unsuspecting employees are their most frequent prey for phishing, ransomware, malware and business email compromise (BEC) attacks. SecurityIQ's latest enhancements teach employees how to identify and fend off hacking threats, while providing administrators valuable insights and tools to transform and reinforce their teams' positive security behaviors.

Learner Assessments Test Aptitude, Knowledge Retention

SecurityIQ assessments are short, fully customizable quizzes added to any training campaign to test learner comprehension, uncover additional training needs and validate active learner participation. With hundreds of easy-to-use, preloaded questions as well as the ability to customize questions to organizational training goals, SecurityIQ makes it easy to keep a continual pulse on the organization's cyber aptitude.

Learner Grading & Scorecards Deliver Early Risk Detection & Personalized Learning

Compiling data from 19 risk-related behaviors, SecurityIQ learner grading and scorecards provide a more complete and accurate snapshot of an organization's security posture beyond simply phishing attack avoidance. Leveraging the power of learner grades, SecurityIQ automatically delivers awareness training and phishing simulations personalized to each learner's assessed security aptitude, organizational role and learning style.
