Security Awareness Training – for better IT security awareness

Improve SME IT security through employee training courses 

Most cyberattacks start with phishing-mails.

Technical protective measures alone are not enough if cybercriminals attempt to access an SME’s IT systems through its employees. Phishing, identity theft and social engineering are used to circumvent technical protective measures. This is how ransomware infiltrates corporate networks or attempts to access company data. Train your employees in IT security and enjoy an additional line of defence against cybercriminals. 

Therefore, if you want an integrated security strategy, it is crucial to involve employees and to provide cybersecurity training to help them navigate the Internet, e-mails and IT securely.

Targeted IT security training courses prepare your employees for the main types of attack and teach them how to recognise them and behave appropriately. Dealing with fictitious attacks helps prepare the users in your company for the worst-case scenario. This will improve their awareness of various cyberthreats and help them act with greater foresight.

Embedding IT security in the corporate culture

Regular employee training on IT security embeds the topic and raises employee awareness. This equips them with the correct behaviour and serves as a constant reminder of the approach to take.

Enhance employees’ security awareness

Deceptively realistic attack simulations present your employees with different types of cyberthreat. This promotes vigilance towards cyberthreats, trains them to respond correctly to cyberattacks and refreshes their knowledge.
