Cybersecurity awareness training educates employees on how to recognise and protect against cyber threats targeting them. This includes phishing, social engineering, ransomware, password attacks and more. Security awareness training reduces cyber risk by educating staff on the critical role they play, often without them realising it, to protect your business and data, building a strong security culture. With AI enhancing the speed and sophistication of attacks, education has never been more important.

As security awareness specialists that have worked across a range of industries, we know what best-practice looks like! We recommend an ongoing, monthly cadence of security training using a tool, such as our SAT platform, combined with in person and role-based training sessions that are more in-depth, to engage staff and keep cybersecurity top-of-mind for employees.

Every employee is a potential target, however if we examine some of the most recent cyber attacks Australia has experienced, it is often specific employees within the organisation that represent a higher risk. We recommend prioritising education for these roles if you needed to pick. This may include Executives and Board of Directors, Finance, Human Resources, and your IT Help Desk. We work with your team to identify specific roles that require training, and build out tailored training that is high-impact and aligned to your business. This does not mean all staff should not also be receiving some element of training.

90% of cyber breaches happen because of human mistakes — clicking on dodgy links, using weak passwords, reusing compromised credentials, downloading malware or falling for scams. Training is proven to reduce this human risk dramatically, providing insight into cyber threats staff will engage with at some point.
