If you ask most security awareness leaders today a simple question\u2014\u201cHow many people completed training last quarter?\u201d\u2014the answer is immediate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when the harder question comes up\u2014\u201cDid that training actually reduce risky behavior or prevent an incident?\u201d\u2014the room often goes silent.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
