User Awareness Training.

Most cyber breaches result from human error; User Awareness Training is the key to mitigating that risk

Help every employee recognise, avoid and report potential cyber threats

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

I’m sure we have all been sent spam and phishing emails in the past. But without the proper training, it is only a matter of time before one of your staff fall victim. The only question is, how much will it cost your business? Australians are now losing over $600 million every year to scams.

The Australian Government's Notifiable Data Breach NDB scheme, which quotes that 35% of all reported breaches in the past year were caused by human error. Phishing is very easy, with 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.

Aimed at training your employees to act like human firewalls, a User Awareness Training program will help your staff identify phishing emails, keep them vigilant, and assess who your riskiest users are so they can be provided additional training as and when required. This will reduce the likelihood of staff clicking on links that might end up compromising the organisation.

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. User Awareness Training is a critical part of strengthening your people defence layer.

Perfect Partner Experience

The new platform is continually kept up to date with categorisation and profiling of new threats and classification of existing traffic. Being able to focus on what is actually happening rather than reacting to close a new threat has saved a lot of time. Being able to see where our compliance was not 100%, we were able to act early and educate our people on the dangers and implications of not following our policies. This has helped us pro-actively understand patterns and educate our staff about the risks of the Internet before we have a serious incident.
