Which of the following is the PRIMARY benefit of an information security awareness training program?

While awareness training can contribute to cultural change, its primary benefit is not evaluating security culture but rather improving individual security practices.

Awareness training supports security policy enforcement by informing employees of the policies, but it does not directly enforce them; enforcement comes through technical controls and disciplinary actions.

Information security awareness training aims to educate employees about security threats, policies, and best practices, thereby changing their behaviors and promoting a security-conscious culture. By influencing human actions, the program directly reduces the likelihood of employees falling victim to social engineering attacks, misconfiguring systems, or violating policies, which are major contributors to security incidents.

Risk accountability is defined through roles, responsibilities, and policies, not primarily by security awareness training itself, though training can clarify these responsibilities.
