How do you train staff on secure file transfer?

We’re planning to run a training session for employees so they understand how to send files safely. Any tips on where to start?

We tried just emailing out guidelines at first, but people didn’t follow them. What worked better was interactive training with real-world examples. We showed how data leaks happen and gave staff practice using secure tools. That made the risks feel real and the solutions practical. I actually pulled some training ideas from flash3c.com, which covers effective ways to teach secure file transmission. My advice: don’t just focus on rules — explain the “why” behind them. Employees are more likely to change habits when they realize security is part of protecting the business, not just bureaucracy.
