What is Phishing?

What is Phishing?

  • Typically, phishing is a cyber attack that targets people through various communication channels, including email, text messages, and phone calls. A phishing attack aims to deceive the recipient into taking a desired action, such as disclosing sensitive information like financial details or login credentials to systems.

    Phishing is a popular tactic used by cybercriminals to trick people into revealing their personal information. These criminals pretend to be trustworthy organisations and use psychological manipulation to convince users to take specific actions. These actions can include clicking on links that lead to fake websites, downloading malicious files, or sharing sensitive information, such as bank account numbers or credit card details.

    Phishing attacks are a costly and prevalent security risk for companies. Therefore, your team should be cautious of suspicious emails and links to avoid clicking on phishing links and sharing sensitive information like passwords, usernames, and bank details. If cybercriminals successfully gain access to your organisation’s network or system, they can steal, manipulate, or disrupt valuable data or assets. This could pose a significant risk to the security and stability of your organisation.

What is Cybersecurity Awareness Training?

Cybersecurity awareness training is crucial for helping organisations to outsmart cybercrime. This training equips employees with knowledge about common threats, best practices, and the potential repercussions of data breaches.

Employees are no longer passive bystanders in the fight against online risks. Instead, they play a critical role in safeguarding the organisation by adopting strong cybersecurity habits. Training sessions help them understand the potential dangers and equip them with the necessary tools to act as the first line of defence against cyber threats.

Teaching employees about cybersecurity is a vital initiative within the organisation to prepare them for potential cyber threats. The aim is to improve the workforce’s understanding, skills, and proficiency in cybersecurity protocols. The following are the main topics usually addressed in employee cybersecurity training.

Why is Cybersecurity Awareness Training Important?

We live in a digital world where many of our day-to-day activities are now conducted online. We work, communicate, shop, and interact through the internet. As a result, we have become more reliant on cybersecurity measures to protect us.

Unfortunately, cybercriminals can quickly create chaos on our lives and businesses. Our increased use of the internet and mobile devices has given them more opportunities to exploit our vulnerabilities. A successful cyber-attack can bring a company to its knees in the commercial sector, causing irreparable damage that can lead to permanent losses.

Why is Cybersecurity Awareness Training Important?
  • In 2022, the average cost of a data breach was slightly below $4.35 million.
  • In 2020, only 11% of businesses provided cybersecurity awareness programs to non-cyber employees.
  • Phishing is involved in 1 out of every 3 data breaches.
  • According to recent reports, approximately 20% of organizations have experienced a security breach caused by a remote worker.

The platform focuses on three main aspects: testing, training, and monitoring. Using this platform lets your employees become a robust line of defence, thus improving your company’s ability to safeguard against cyber threats. Let’s delve into the crucial role each component plays:

TEST

The platform puts your employees through simulated cyberattacks so they can see firsthand how hackers try to trick them. This helps them learn to spot suspicious emails, websites, and other tricks.

  • Phishing simulations: Realistic phishing emails are sent to employees to evaluate their ability to recognise and avoid them.
  • Security awareness quizzes: These are crucial for measuring your employees' comprehension of fundamental cybersecurity concepts.

TRAIN

After the testing, the platform provides personalised training to help employees improve their cybersecurity skills. This could include things like how to create strong passwords and what to do if they suspect something is wrong.

  • Interactive e-learning: These modules offer employees self-paced training on various cybersecurity topics.
  • Videos: Our library contains insightful videos covering various subjects, including phishing, social engineering, password security, and data protection.
  • Microlearning modules: These brief, efficiently digestible modules provide employees with rapid access to information about best cybersecurity practices.

MONITOR

The platform keeps track of how employees are doing and identifies any areas where they need more training. This helps you ensure that your entire team is up-to-date on the latest cybersecurity threats.

  • Security awareness reports: These reports track employee performance on phishing simulations, security awareness quizzes, and security awareness training modules.
  • Behavioural analytics: These tools help you to identify employees who may be at risk of clicking on phishing emails or engaging in other risky behaviours.
