As we come to the end of Cyber Security Month, it is an excellent time to raise awareness about the important role employees should be playing in keeping your business safe.
Everyone is vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and taking steps to toughen up IT systems within your business is great, but it can be rendered relatively ineffective if you fail to account for the lowest denominator in the equation - the random element that is employee behaviour.
Limiting the errors
We all make mistakes . . . we are, after all, only human. But it is this human frailty that increases the risk of cyber attacks on your business. Did you know that 95% of all cybersecurity issues can be traced to human error?Getting your staff onside with cybersecurity and playing a larger role in protecting your business involves:
- Raising awareness
- Education and training
- Encouraging behavioural changes
And we have the ideal solution to help you achieve this..
We employ a holistic approach to tailor-made cybersecurity awareness and education, setting out a plan that will drive behavioural change and security outcomes by targeting weaknesses, job roles and competencies of your employees.
We will identify what your people know, how they should react when confronted by threats and we will create an understanding about their mindset on security - all factors that prove invaluable when it comes to planning or adapting your security awareness programme in line with the unique needs of your users. It will also track all the metrics that your CISO needs.
Three steps to security
The first thing we will do is assess user cybersecurity knowledge and identify any gaps that exist within the programme. This is achieved through knowledge and cultural assessments and phishing/USB simulations based on real-world threats - data that will form the basis of reports that identify your top clickers and VAPs.
Step two sees us address the challenge to change user behaviour by:
- Keeping your users engaged
- Provision of targeted cybersecurity education, tailored to an individual’s role, competency, vulnerability, language and learning style
In step three we will evaluate your security awareness training programme’s performance - measuring and reporting progress in the long-term through the use of metrics that identify behavioural change, peer group analysis and user vulnerability.
