Welcome to the Underwriting Techniques For Security Awareness Training Course!
Technology may power modern business, but people determine whether it stays secure. Every click, login, approval, and decision made by an employee can either reinforce an organization’s defenses or open the door to a breach. And in today’s threat landscape, where 95% of cyber incidents involve human error, understanding this human attack surface is no longer optional for cyber insurance professionals, it’s essential.
This course takes you inside the evolving world of human-layer cyber risk. You’ll explore how behaviors, habits, and training shape real-world loss outcomes, and how insurers can better evaluate these factors to make smarter underwriting decisions.
Whether you’re assessing risk, refining questionnaires, advising brokers, or guiding insureds toward stronger security cultures, this course will give you the tools to underwrite with greater confidence—because cybersecurity truly begins and ends with people.
What You’ll Learn
In this course, you will:
- Identify and differentiate between internal and external cyber threats and understand the role of human behavior in creating vulnerabilities.
- Evaluate how security awareness and ongoing training programs reduce human-layer cyber risk and identify best practices for building a sustainable information security culture.
