BROOMFIELD, Colo.— Starting early April, Webroot® Security Awareness Training will allow administrators to launch global campaigns across one or all clients in a single click—an industry first. Additionally, the solution from Webroot, the Smarter Cybersecurity® company, will include Client Breach Reports, updated course content, a new phishing lure page framework and integration with the Webroot Global Site Manager console for streamlined management across multiple users, clients, and sites.
The enhancements utilize the power of the Webroot Platform and its continuous threat intelligence analysis, which provides contextual data to the entire Webroot suite of business solutions, including Security Awareness Training, Business Endpoint Protection, and DNS Protection. The Webroot Platform feeds the security training solution with real-world trends and examples to create relevant content. Every Webroot solution is purpose-built to support a layered security approach for managed service providers (MSPs) who work with small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
According to a recent 451 Research report, 62 percent of SMBs said they have security awareness training programs in place, but they also reported their programs are ineffective and difficult to manage. Security awareness training programs should be engaging for the end users, effective in risk reduction, and easy to set up and manage. A Webroot Security Awareness Training efficacy report found that an ongoing approach to security education and training resulted in a 70 percent decrease in click rates on phishing simulation links.

Key Quotes:
Chad Bacher, SVP of Product Strategy and Technology Alliances, Webroot
“Automation and orchestration are the force multipliers MSPs need to keep up with today’s threats and provide the best service possible to their clients. Our integrated security portfolio gives MSPs the highest value for their business, a faster route to market, fewer backend needs, and fewer procurement headaches.“
Aaron Sherrill, Senior Analyst, 451 Research
“MSPs should consider security awareness training from vendors with cybersecurity focus and expertise, and who have deep visibility and insights into the changing threat landscape. Ideally, training should be integrated into the overall security services delivery platform to provide a unified and cohesive approach for greater efficacy. Additionally, MSPs should strongly consider the value of time-of-need training, i.e. when training can be delivered in direct response to a user’s actions, since that is a proven tactic for ensuring users internalize the lessons they receive.”
