Thus, cybersecurity is fundamental to protecting confidential data, business assets, and operations. Therefore, any organization must defend against any unauthorized access by cyber-attackers. Hence, implementing cybersecurity is to ensure a security posture for computers, servers, networks, mobile devices, and the data stored on these devices to protect against potential cyber-attackers' malicious intentions. In this regard, cybersecurity risk is critical for all organizations, requiring awareness for employees, specialists, managers, and others that work with sensitive data, business assets, and operations. Cybersecurity training is essential to provide a certain level of cybersecurity awareness l to support organization staff with a comprehensive perspective on potential cyber-attack risks and skills for risk defense. This requires developing a program in cybersecurity awareness training that empowers individuals and organizations to seize opportunities and tackle cybersecurity challenges with the necessary knowledge, skills, and practices described in the curriculum example for training. This paper focus on training on respective knowledge skills and topics for a cybersecurity program to develop effective and efficient skills for participating personnel, enabling them to identify and defend against malicious cyber-attacks 1.
