Security Awareness Testing and Training is a company-wide initiative which is essential to help employees maintain vigilance against cyber threats. By making sure employees can identify threats, red flags, and are aware of the potential malicious actors, it upholds a much needed level of security. It is not enough to simply know how to deal with attacks, they should be prevented from occurring in the first place. Your human firewall is the first line of defence in a multilayered cyber security strategy, so you must recognise how to make it as strong as possible.

What does Security Awareness Testing and Training do?

A Security Awareness Testing and Training service provides continuous training to employees, so they are constantly updated on the current threats facing your organisation. Some topics covered include password protection, email, and phishing security; web, and internet security; and physical, and office security.

This is necessary to help employees understand that they are a vital aspect of their company’s security defence. Most breeches occur due to human error, proving that it is an important aspect of security that cannot be ignored.

Why do you need Security Awareness Testing and Training?

After the first full year of training, we have seen an improvement of 82% across all industries. With this level of awareness, employees can prevent attempted phishing and ransomware attacks which is evidenced by employees phish prone percentage decreasing from 33.2% to 5.4%.

This is only achievable when security training and testing is repeated regularly.  There is a minimum level of awareness that needs to be upkept. Therefore, a constant revising of employee knowledge is necessary.

Data breeches are expensive and create an organisational risk with employees as primary target for threats. To maintain an efficient and empowered workforce, you need to prevent such attacks from occurring in the first place.

It doesn’t matter the size of your organisation; big and small companies alike are susceptible to phishing attacks. Don’t risk tarnishing your brand’s reputation by falling victim to a ransomware. With a strong defence system in place, customer confidence in your brand will improve.

Security Awareness Testing and Training also ensures a level of compliance which is necessary nowadays to remain in accordance with Cyber Insurance policies. Many industry standards now state that organisations must have gone through of security awareness training to be eligible for a claim if they are breeched. If you are seen as a high-risk client, your premiums are also more likely to be higher.

Every employee is responsible for the security of the cyber estate, so it is important that they all assume a mindset of cyber awareness. By implementing a Security Awareness Testing and Training program, your entire workforce is tested, even the IT teams, leaving no stone unturned.

For the price of a cup of coffee per person per month, our Security Awareness Training & Testing service will improve cyber-vigilance across your workforce to reduce the chance of breaches and the financial losses, brand harm and distraction they bring. We do this in three steps:

Ransomware and Phishing are the most commonly used tools for cyber attacks on your staff

1. Baseline testing

We’ll safely and randomly phish your workforce to assess the phish-prone percentage of your users. This will create an awareness baseline and highlight training priorities.

2. Security Awareness training

To increase cyber-vigilance, we’ll then train your workforce using the world’s largest library of security awareness training content. And because new starters are often key phishing targets, we can train them to ensure they join you from a point of vigilance.

3. Ongoing testing

To ensure your staff remain vigilant to attacks and scams, we’ll provide ongoing testing with simulated attacks from thousands of exhaustive templates.
