Security Awareness Training
Your business is only secure as its weakest link. Providing security awareness training to staff greatly reduces the likelihood of a security breach.
One standard method of attack is email Phishing. Phishing is a technique cybercriminals use to send emails that appear genuine but contain malicious links. When the email recipient unknowingly clicks on a link, the criminal can launch an attack on the user’s system or the IT systems they are connected to.
Security awareness training helps you and your employees better understand what to look for in these emails to avoid falling victim.
How Big is the Risk of Phishing?
The risk of harm from a phishing attack has never been greater. Phishing is one of the hacker’s favourite methods to bypass IT security defences and spread ransomware.
The Facts are:
- In 2020, 60% of businesses suffered a ransomware phishing attack
- 30% of businesses attacked by ransomware lose all their data
- The average business downtime after an attack is 6 days
- Over 90,000 new phishing campaigns are launched every month
- 50% of all cyber-attacks target small to medium businesses
Employee mistakes cause nearly 90% of all data security breaches; that’s why phishing email awareness training is an essential part of any business’s cybersecurity plan. Phishing training for staff can help your team spot malicious emails more quickly, lowering the risks for your business.
The impact of a successful phishing attack on your business could be disastrous:
- Your business could be crippled for days or even weeks.
- Your customer and employee data could be lost forever or sold.
- Your identity or security could be compromised.
- And, in a worst-case scenario, you have to begin again from scratch.
