Cyber Security Awareness Training
Cyber security awareness training that empowers businesses
Cyber security is a growing concern as the nature of threats becomes more sophisticated – and the potential consequences of an attack more serious. It’s no longer enough to implement a top-down cyber security system: businesses must ensure that there is demonstrable buy-in from staff that they are aware of the potential risks and consequences of their actions.
This highlights the importance of cyber security awareness training measures: Human error is thought to be responsible for around 95% of all security breaches. This highlights the fact that even if cyber security systems are up to date and maintained, without the cooperation and understanding of employees, risks can be high. To achieve the level of security buy-in to make the business truly cyber secure, it is important to ensure all staff are trained to the highest possible level.
Why Cyber Security Training Matters
It mainly comes down to awareness. It’s not reasonable to expect all staff to develop a comprehensive knowledge of the cyber security systems in place. However, understanding the threats, where they might come from, and how to avoid them helps businesses prevent as many as 19 out of 20 security breaches.
At ToraGuard, we’re one of the leading providers of cyber security awareness training in the UK. We don’t offer lifeless presentations to allow staff to tick training boxes and get the appropriate certificate. We have sophisticated training systems that highlight the importance of awareness, engage staff in understanding the risks and provide them with the tools and knowledge to avoid them.
Our training programmes are not just one-off activities; we offer ongoing cyber security support and are always here to answer any questions. Sessions are designed to enable staff to identify threats including phishing emails, malware and social engineering attacks. Our trainers are skilled at communicating the importance of recognising the risks and also at developing a security-focused mindset at all times.
How Cyber Security Awareness Training Can Make A Difference
We understand that not all businesses have the time and scope to carry out lengthy security awareness training programmes, so we have devised our training to be ongoing and practical. We know that staff need constant support and assistance to understand the evolving threats, and we are keen to stress the importance of vigilance at all times.
Our training is designed to:
Work alongside the existing IT or security team, understanding their core concerns and specific requirements. We work hard to understand a business’ user base and how interactions might pose risks, developing strategies to counter these.
Collaborate with leadership teams to identify vulnerable areas of the business or parts of the employee base that may need additional awareness support.
Carry out attack simulations to mimic the conditions of a security event and assess the preparedness and response of the various elements of the business.
Provide ongoing and annual assessments of risk awareness both for the business and its insurers.
