95% of Cyber Security issues are due to human error*.
Cyber security is not only a technology problem, but also a people problem.
Your staff are the largest attack surface of your organisation, but they are also the greatest defence against cyber threats; so they should be at the centre of your cyber security strategy.
User awareness training serves to educate individuals about the potential risks associated with using technology, and the best practices for avoiding or reducing these risks.
It covers a range of topics including the most common cyber threats such as social engineering (phishing attacks), data leakage and malware, as well as best practice techniques to stay safe, for example password security and the importance of MFA.
By training your staff to be a human firewall, they are more likely to spot potentially malicious activity, follow best practice, and consider the security of their remote working environment.

Cyber Security Culture
Cyber security awareness is good, but cyber secure behaviour is better.
Cyber security needs to be woven into the fabric of your organisation; it’s the responsibility of everyone, with management leading by example. Go beyond awareness and empower your team to take responsibility.
Tailored awareness training programs, open communication and learning from incidents will keep your staff engaged, as well as encourage them to report actual or suspected cyber security incidents. This not only aims to reduce the risk of a cyberattack, but creates a culture of awareness within your organisation.
