Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Influencing human behavior is the primary benefit of an information security awareness training program because it helps to reduce the human errors and vulnerabilities that can compromise the security of data and systems. An information security awareness training program is a process or a program that informs and empowers users to protect data and computing assets from security risks and cyberattacks. It includes educational offerings that cover regulatory requirements, compliance policies, and safe computing practices. An information security awareness training program helps to influence human behavior by raising awareness of the security threats and challenges, enhancing knowledge and skills of the security best practices and controls, and fostering a positive security culture and attitude among the users. By influencing human behavior, an information security awareness training program can improve the security posture and performance of the organization, as well as prevent or mitigate the impact of security incidents. Therefore, influencing human behavior is the correct answer.

I'd go with D as well. Gotta keep those hackers on their toes, am I right? Or should I say, on their *phish*es?

Option A? Really? More phishing tests doesn't mean the training is working - it just means we're annoying our employees more.

I'm torn between B and D. Positive user feedback is great, but I agree that identifying phishing attempts is the real test of an effective program.

But what about an increase in the identification rate during phishing simulations? Doesn't that show that users are more aware of security threats?
