Employees are the weakest link in any organisations network or IT infrastructures security. They are becoming more and more at risk and being exposed to sophisticated ransomware attacks. Employees need to be trained to keep them on their toes and at all times keeping security in mind, turning them into a human firewall.
Over 90% of successful cyber attacks could be stopped by a trained and vigilant workforce Employees are still responsible for the vast majority of security incidents. Regardless of the security technology an organisation has in place, attacks still land in front of staff, leaving your organisation to rely on the know-how of your workforce to keep you protected against targeted cybercrime. The solution is to regularly train your staff on today’s cyber threats and keep them vigilant, though nearly all organisations lack the time, resource and expertise to manage an effective security awareness training and testing program. Our fully managed Security Awareness Training and Testing (SATT) service is outcomes driven, guarantees results and will make a meaningful difference by changing staff behaviour when it comes to identifying cyber security threats, all without taking up any of your time or resources.
How it works
Other security awareness solutions prove to be a wasted investment, resulting in staff still being a cyber security risk. Our simple process will stop employees from causing security incidents.
Stage 1 - Baseline
Understand your risk level Get started with a baseline phishing test to understand your staff susceptibility to targeted cyber attacks. This is a realistic spear phishing attack that’s created bespoke for your organisation. Typically 40 to 70% of your employees will engage in the attack and be identified as a cyber security risk.
Stage 2 - Training
Interactive e-learning Teach your staff the skills required to identify and prevent modern cyber attacks with interactive, online training. Our cyber security training videos are created by experts and cover a range of security topics, providing your workforce with a well-rounded understanding of the cyber threat landscape.
Stage 3 - Monthly phishing
Maintain vigilance with ongoing phishing testing We’ll work closely with your organisation to ensure vigilance towards cyber threats is maintained with regular phishing testing, remedial training, reports and additional support. Staff who continue to click phishing emails and put security at risk will be provided with the extra support they need to ensure they don’t make the same mistake again. Our mission that you maintain a 0% click rate on a monthly basis.
Does training actually stop end users causing security incidents?
We have found that security awareness training makes an immediate difference to staff behaviour. However, what normally happens after completing any training, without continuous reinforcement, is that the message is gradually forgotten within a few weeks of returning to day to day activities. This is where our fully managed training and testing managed service is unique. Our service actually stops your end users causing security incidents. It is only by combining workplace security awareness training with ongoing, random test phishing emails, supplemented by additional targeted training for those who are (still) vulnerable, that you build a human firewall. A firewall of vigilant, knowledgeable and empowered employees ready to protect themselves and your organisation. A human firewall ready to identify potential security incidents. Only our integrated training and testing service will help you build a relevant, robust security culture that stands the test of time.
