Cyber Awareness Training
Consultancy Services
Strengthening the ‘human firewall’ of a business is a vital layer in the protection of an organisation from cyber-attack.
Your Challenges
Human Error
Human mistakes, like clicking malicious links or using weak passwords, are common causes of security breaches. User awareness training provides employees with the tools to avoid these pitfalls.
Increasing Cyber Threats
Cyber threats are evolving rapidly. Ongoing cyber awareness training keeps employees updated on new threats and defences, enhancing overall security.
Lack of Awareness
Employees often lack understanding of cyber risks and protocols. Training fills this gap, ensuring they know their roles in protecting the organisation.
What is Cyber Awareness Training?
PureCyber offers a variety of training options to suit any business. They focus on building the relevant knowledge levels for teams from a foundation level with the ‘Introduction to Cyber ‘course, to shorter bitesize courses on key topics such as Phishing, through to technical courses such as our in demand ‘Technical Cyber Awareness for Developers’ 2 day course.
PureCyber offers user awareness training as part of our subscription services so that organisations can review and improve both their technical vulnerabilities and their human-centric ones.
Why is Cyber Awareness Training Important?
Reduces Human Error
Training helps employees recognise and avoid common mistakes, such as interacting with phishing links or using weak passwords, which are common causes of security breaches.
Keeps Employees Informed
Ongoing training updates employees on evolving cyber threats and the latest security practices, helping them stay ahead of sophisticated attacks and improving the organisation's defences.
Enhances Risk Understanding
Awareness training educates employees about cyber risks and the importance of security protocols, ensuring they understand their role in protecting the organisation and adhere to best practices.
Case Study: Enhancing Cyber Awareness
Background
An organisation faced frequent phishing attacks and data breaches due to employee errors and insufficient security awareness.
Training Initiative:
Assessment: The organisation began by assessing the current level of cyber awareness among employees through surveys and simulated phishing tests.
Training Program: A comprehensive training program was developed, including:
Interactive Workshops: Employees participated in sessions covering phishing recognition, password management, and safe data handling.
E-Learning Modules: Online courses provided ongoing education on emerging threats and security best practices.
Simulated Attacks: Regular simulated phishing exercises tested employees’ responses and provided feedback.
Implementation: The program was rolled out across the organisation with mandatory participation. Managers monitored progress and encouraged engagement.
Results:
Reduced Incidents: Phishing-related incidents decreased by 60% within six months.
Improved Awareness: Post-training surveys showed a 40% increase in employees' ability to recognise and handle cyber threats.
Stronger Security Culture: The organisation saw a significant improvement in adherence to security protocols and a more proactive approach to cyber threats.
This case study illustrates how a targeted cyber awareness training program can effectively address human error, keep employees informed about threats, and enhance understanding of security practices.
