7 Reasons Why Organizations Use Online Training



1. Reduce Costs -  How you manage training is always about how you manage costs.



2. Access to Talent -  Especially hard when it gets to Security Awareness Training which is highly specialized.



3. Geographic Reach  & Scalability – Being able to train all employees worldwide via distance learning on the same security processes and procedures, and flex resources.



4. Compliance –  Many organizations these days are required to comply with a multitude of  regulations, just take the PCI (Payment Card Industry)  Security Program for example.



5. Mitigate Risks – Training helps to prevent failures and from the liabilities of being sued for insufficient training, a clear and present danger in the case of cyber heists.



6. Training  is not Core to the Business -  For many organizations, training is a necessity, but the development, management and delivery of training is a distraction.



7. Leverage the Cost of Technology – One of the first major investments is a Learning Management System. Why incur these costs when the outsourcing company has already paid for it?
