Today’s guest for Converge TechTalkis Kyle Metcalf, CEO of Inspired eLearning, a security awareness and HR compliance training firm. Kyle spent 12 years at Rackspace before taking the help as CEO at Inspired eLearning, and is focused on helping the company become a leader in the highly competitive and growing market of cybersecurity training.

Why cybersecurity training? Internet security is perhaps the biggest threat businesses of all sizes face today. Employees play a significant role when it comes to protecting against cyberattacks, as they are, quite literally, on the front lines of defense. Keeping them aware and knowledgeable about security risks and trained on protecting themselves and the company is business mission critical today.

Our discussion centered on the following touchpoints—

- Trends in security that make security awareness and training important.

- Why you board needs to be involved in and committed to security.

- What does a robust security awareness program look like?

- How to justify budget for security awareness.

- How to drive knowledge retention within your organization.
