Reduce the risk of human error with security awareness training done right

Even with a robust email security perimeter in place, attackers can bypass your security measures and operate inside your email systems. When looking at successful cyber attacks, almost all of them have one thing in common; a user, somewhere, did something that could have been avoided.

Research clearly shows that human error is involved in more than 90% of all successful security breaches. If your employees aren’t ready for a cyberattack, your organization isn’t either. An engaging continuous cyber security awareness training program will help turn your employees into your first line of defense.

Benefits of Cyber Security Awareness TrainingCybercriminals target end users. Ongoing cybersecurity education and training is a must for businesses to stay secure.

Fewer Cybersecurity Incidents

The vast majority of successful data breaches involve users falling for phishing attacks. But security awareness training can help to reduce the likelihood of success for these and other attacks, slashing the time MSPs spend on remediation.

Proven Efficacy

User error accounts for up to 90% of successful breaches. With computer-based training, you can significantly change the odds.

Ongoing Defense

New tactics and techniques are constantly being dreamt up by cybercriminals. Ongoing user training ensures your clients are kept up to date on the latest methods of attack, so they stay on track and out of the headlines.

Regulatory Compliance

Government regulations for businesses of all types continue to increase. Violating such regulations (SEC, FINRA, PCI, HIPAA and GDPR), could cost your company a hefty fine of up to $50,000. Keeping your company compliant through cybersecurity awareness training and how to handle sensitive information means it will be less likely that your company will be fined for policy violations.

Keep Your Customers’ Trust

Trust is hard to build and easy to lose. Data breaches can prove expensive, not just in terms of damaged infrastructure, lost downtime and costly remediation, but also blemished business reputation and credibility which can take years to restore. Training your staff to be security aware helps you to protect your business assets and the experience you deliver to your customers, so that you retain and grow your customers’ confidence in your brand.

Confident Staff

As technology use has exploded, a majority of employees have been left to fend largely for themselves in a wilderness of new software, social media, e-mail platforms, and more. That leads to a general feeling of uncertainty around technology in general and data security specifically. By holding official Security Awareness Training, your team can feel confident using the technology they need to. They’ll know what to do and what not to do to help protect the business. 

Better Culture

Being informed creates a better workplace culture. By establishing data security as a priority, employees can help keep each other accountable for best practices and support each other in safe technology use. Instead of a pall hanging over their heads as they navigate e-mail and the internet, there will be a sense of ownership and confidence in handling their business. Cultivating that kind of culture will pay off in a handful of ways – higher satisfaction, higher retention, and more. 

Save Money

Combining a confident team with a data security-conducive culture will save your company money. Data breaches can be expensive and having a team that’s prepared to prevent them is key to saving your business from the ruinous costs associated with them. Think of security awareness training as an investment. Any cost incurred from holding training will prevent greater cost down the line. 

Save Time

Similar to the cost saved, you’ll also save time by implementing training on security awareness. One of the hidden costs of data breaches is the time lost trying to fix it and recover. More than a financial loss alone, your business is at risk to be derailed as you scramble to control the damage. By ensuring that your team is acting vigilantly against cyber threats, you’re lessening the chance that you’ll have to face a data breach. 

Constant Changes in the Threat Landscape

It is critical to stay on top of the latest cyber threats out there that look to exploit the human element, especially social engineering attacks. For example, spam and email phishing rates decreased last year while manually shared social media scams increased from 2% to 80% in the same time frame.

Allows you to identify your Human Risk

Calculating your human risk allows you to identify the gaps in your human cyber security defenses so that you can concentrate cyber training on these areas first. We first send your employees a gap analysis questionnaire to determine their level of cyber awareness and custom tailor the training modules for each employee, based on the results of the analysis.

Better Security

Of course, the biggest benefit to holding a training session on security awareness is better security. Knowing your employees are prepared and acting with a focus on data security gives you unmatched peace of mind and a confidence that your business is doing everything possible to prevent data breaches. All employees need training on all aspects of their jobs. Data security can’t be neglected. Being proactive in making your team aware of security is one of the best things you can do to protect your business.
