Cyber Security Training

Cyber Security Training

Cyber Security training is essential for all employees. Key Questions you should be asking yourself….

What is social engineering and why is it the biggest threat to your business?

What is your business doing to raise awareness of online Security?

Social engineering is the act of manipulating humans into providing confidential information or performing harmful actions. Users are the most target-rich environment for attackers because all humans are vulnerable to deception, influence and disinformation.

Attackers rely on social engineering because it is often the fastest way to further their goals. An attacker only needs to be successful once to compromise their target, while the target needs to be successful 100% of the time to avoid compromise.

Raising security awareness

Employees need to be trained regularly to keep security top of mind; essentially, you should be training your employees to become a human firewall. This means your users are the first line of defence, because they are frequently exposed to sophisticated phishing and ransomware attacks; both are forms of social engineering.

79% of businesses faced a phishing attack
2023 saw a 76% increase in financial loss from phishing attacks with a daily cost of around $600k (£460k)
91% of successful data breaches start with a spear phishing attack
Social engineering and phishing are responsible for 70-90% of all malicious data breaches
