How frequently should DoD personnel complete mandatory security training?

DoD personnel are required to complete mandatory security training annually to ensure they remain updated on the latest security practices, policies, and insider threat awareness. This frequent training is essential in the evolving landscape of information security, where threats can change rapidly. By having personnel engage in this training each year, the DoD aims to reinforce critical security concepts and maintain a robust defense posture against potential insider threats and other vulnerabilities. Regular training also promotes a culture of security awareness, equipping personnel with the necessary tools to recognize and respond to potential issues effectively.
