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?

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 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.
