Security Awareness Training | The Missing Link

Empower your staff to make better, smarter, faster cyber decisions

The Missing Link provides tailored, modular Cyber Security Awareness Programs, encompassing:

Simulated phishing
Online training
Classroom training
Executive briefings
Attack/breach simulation workshops

All of which are trackable, analysed and reportable.

With clients across all sectors, our tried and tested methodology ensures we target each and every person in a contextual, relevant and continuous program - the only way to truly result in an improved Cyber Security culture.

We believe one of the weakest links in an organisations security is their own staff. This is supported in part by the Australian Government's Notofiable Data Breach NDB scheme, who quote that 35% of all reported breaches in the past year were caused by human error.

Attackers (Nation-state, criminal, hacktivists, insiders) are all motivated by different targets/objectives. The training helps you understand who your potential attackers are and what they want, once you can do that you’re better positioned to strengthen your defences in a targeted manner. This should be done as a holistic exercise encompassing technology, people and process. Cyber Security Awareness Training is a critical part of strengthening your people defence layer.

Phishing is very easy, minimum effort and risk for the attackers. All it takes for an attacker to be successful is a single email, if the attacker has done their research on the intended receiver, it will be contextual and well-timed. If (and often they are) the receiver is tricked, the attacker will attain their goal and the receiver is tricked into exposing the business, often invalidating your insurance, through providing information, access to systems/data or approving fraudulent payments.

Why do you need Security Awareness Training?

Provide employees with the ability to understand and identify common security threats.

Enable them to make the right decision when they identify a threat.

Strengthen the weakest layer in your cyber security – your staff.

Ultimately better protect your sensitive data.

Perfect Partner Experience

Our first engagement with The Missing Link was for a full security review and penetration test throughout our entire environment. We used The Missing Link to identify what our risks and exposures were and what we needed to do to resolve those. The Missing Link came onsite to undertake that work. They were very consultative, dependable and accurate and they presented a roadmap for us going forward.

Mitch Owens | Chief Information Officer, Gilbert + Tobin

We engaged with The Missing Link due to their technical strength, agile manner and their experience with and understanding of start-up organisations. Our experience with The Missing Link has been positive - professional, timely and reliable. And I've got to say, we have been very impressed with the projects undertaken so far and their solid guidance on improving our security posture. They recognised that it was important for us to work fast amidst tight deadlines while also meeting the highest regulatory and security requirements. With their proven ability and expert advice, I feel confident knowing that my team is doing the right thing - by the business, our students and our corporate partners.
