Fast forward to the present and anyone who's worked in a business environment knows at least the basics of how to operate a computer. However, I'm continually amazed that even most high school and college age students have no clue how a computer actually functions - meaning, what's inside and what each part does. By the same token, you'll find that most of your users have almost no understanding of how email works, why ransomware is a threat, or why one web browser is any better worse than another (or most likely, even what a web browser IS). It's absolutely imperative that you train your users. I've implemented an annual security training program that all users are required to attend and I supplement that training throughout the year by sending out short emails addressing threats that they may have heard about on the news or that I've been asked about. But in each year's class - much like the beginning of the school year for teenagers - I always reinforce the basics. I try not to go too far into the weeds, but I will pick one or two current threats or current news stories (ransomware has dominated for the last few years) and sprinkle them throughout the serious stuff: how to identify spam/phishing emails, how to pick secure passwords and store them in KeePassXC, how to spot bad/malicious web content, and what to do when something fishy happens on their computer (UNPLUG!). And the most important rule of all - report any suspicious occurrence to me. I try to keep the class to an hour with questions at the end and I've managed to get even the most meeting-averse users to pay attention. Bottom line: educate your users and train them by reinforcing that education throughout the year (especially informally through emails).
