Cyber security awareness

Cyber Security attacks are on the rise globally, and organisations are mobilising to secure their IT environments to prevent successful attacks from causing major harm. There are a multitude of technical approaches that help repel attacks, but often it is employees themselves that provide the biggest risk.

What is Cyber Security Awareness?

Cyber security training and awareness is a strategy used by IT and security professionals to prevent and mitigate user risk. The end goal of staff awareness training is to create a cyber-aware culture within an organisation, so all employees are better equipped to identify and respond to cyber threats and attacks.

Cyber security training and awareness covers topics like, how to identify and report phishing emails and malicious websites, strong password security and multi-factor authentication, and how to recognise and respond to social engineering attempts.

Security awareness training can lower your user risk and protect your finances, IP, and reputation.

Here are some core motivations for investing in cyber awareness training. 

  • To be aware, you need to be able to confront

  • Cybercrime is evolving rapidly and all organisations are at risk

  • Employees are a key target of cyber criminals to gain access

  • Protect your bottom line, IP, and reputation

  • Security Awareness Proficiency Assessment (SAPA)

    A bi-annual assessment of employees to measure their understanding and awareness of security risks and what to do in the event of an attack, based on 7 key criteria; Email Security, Human Firewall, Incident Reporting, Internet Use, Password and Authentication, Social Media Use, and Mobile Devices. BCN will then create and curate targeted training programs for customer employees based on the SAPA outcome.

  • Regular phishing campaigns

    BCN will create and carry out monthly campaigns targeting employees with phishing emails designed to mimic a cyber attacker’s approach. If an employee fails to recognise the phish, the results will simply be recorded, and training plans will be assigned. The monthly campaigns will be sent out randomly to avoid simple detection and service as regular reminders for employees to report phishing attempts when they see them.

  • Industry security awareness benchmarking

    The SAPA, training plans and phishing campaigns allow BCN to identify a “risk score” which provides a quantified view of a business’s security awareness and proficiency against industry standard metrics. We will benchmark the score against standards based on your industry and organisation size.
