Avanan now introduces a new Security Awareness Training module focused on Cloud Account Security.

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud applications like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom, Dropbox, and Salesforce, user accounts have become powerful gateways to sensitive company data. This new module helps employees understand the unique risks associated with cloud usage and how their daily actions directly impact organizational security.

The Cloud Account Security training explains how cloud security differs from traditional on-premises environments and emphasizes the shared responsibility between providers and users. Through real-world scenarios and interactive case studies, employees learn how compromised accounts, overshared files, or ignored alerts can lead to data theft, impersonation, and widespread organizational impact. The module reinforces essential best practices such as using strong, unique passwords, enabling multi-factor authentication, sharing files intentionally, avoiding login through email links, separating work and personal accounts, and reporting suspicious activity – while built-in knowledge checks help ensure secure behaviors translate into measurable risk reduction.
