Cyber Security Awareness Training

82% of cyber breaches are unwittingly facilitated by employees.

Why is security awareness training necessary?

As cybersecurity threats continue to increase and evolve, security awareness training helps businesses decrease help desk costs, protect their reputation and secure their overall cybersecurity investment.

According to the 2022 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report: 82% of all breaches involve a human element. Well-trained users reduce these incidents, resulting in reduced costs related to lost productivity and system downtime.

Phishing attacks

Phishing is the most popular choice for hackers because it can be easily deployed and 74% of these phishing attacks targeted at businesses are successful. No matter how large or small a business is, it’s a target for cybercriminals. That’s because it only takes a single unwitting click on a phishing link to grant criminals access to everything on a given network and, in some cases, beyond. It’s also why security awareness training and phishing simulations are essential for businesses that want to transform end users from the weakest link in the security chain into a truly resilient first line of cyber defense. The best security in the world can’t prevent an unwitting employee, working on-site or remotely, from accidentally leaving the front door to the network wide open. Cyber Security Awareness Training helps businesses empower end users to identify and report scams, avoid risks, fulfill regulatory compliance requirements and help prevent modern cyberattacks with regular training as part of the layered defence approach to become cyber resilient.

What is Cyber Security Awareness training?

Cyber Security Awareness Training is a proven educational approach for reducing risky employee behaviours that can lead to security compromises. By efficiently delivering relevant information, security awareness training transforms employees into a business’s best line of defence. Employees learn about subjects like information security, social engineering, malware, and industry-specific compliance topics. Knowledge verification increases employee resilience to cyberattacks at home, on the move, and at the office.
