Awareness Training

What Is It?

Security awareness training is a mechanism to increase the knowledge and consideration given to security across an organisation. These can be targeted campaigns focused on specific subjects such as phishing, password generation and usage, general secure conduct or wider all encompassing programmes to embed security inside every facet of the organisation.

Why Assess It?

There are many reasons to conduct user awareness training, five of which are below.

Increase Security

Training your teams means that security will be integrated into their behaviours and considerations whilst working in your organisation. This will translate into more secure projects being delivered, a decreased likelihood of a threat actors being successful with humanistic attacks such as phishing and vishing as well as being able to demonstrate security awareness during presentations to potential and existing customers which can build upon your organisations existing reputation.

Understanding Risk

Whilst risks are typically owned by leaders of the organisation, their identification is most effective when employees have an increased capability to spot and feel able to raise vulnerabilities or security concerns. Through conducting security awareness training your organisation gains a far greater insight and understanding of the risks.

Investment in People

Through offering security awareness training your organisation is demonstrating not only that it takes security seriously, but it is willing and able to support employees to help keep the organisation secure.

Pre-Emptive Defence

All too often an organisation is compromised and only then undertakes retrospective action. Through utilising security awareness training amongst your ongoing assurance activities, you can pre-emptively bolster your security.

Non-Confrontational

Security awareness training allows for a safe environment where employees, at all levels, can learn more about security and how threat actor’s work. This is in stark contrast to attempting to provide guidance to employees who may have fallen foul of a threat actors tactics.

The Agility Cyber Approach

Like all our engagements, we want you to get the most out of your user awareness training and we do this by:

Multi-Modal Delivery

We do not believe delivering a presentation deck is training. For your organisation to benefit the most we use multiple different methods to deliver the training such as elements that are interactive, providing question and answer parts, practical hands on workshops to provide challenge based learning as well as case studies amongst many others activities.

Practical Advice

The training delivered needs to have a tangible uplift on your security awareness. We do not rely purely on theoretical or high level concepts and focus on showcasing practical attacks to be aware of, their ramifications as well as how to identify and mitigate risks.

Bi-Directional

Training is about empowering your teams and providing knowledge. This is not achieved by talking at them. We focus on being engaging and collaborating with the teams so everyone feels they are improving together rather than being lectured at.

Flexible Focus

The training delivered should be focused on the areas which your organisation needs the most. We create the training programme in line with your needs. We are able to tailor our training to any type of security concern you may have whilst maintaining the same effectiveness.

Location Independent

We believe in working in line with how your teams work and deliver the same outstanding level of security awareness training virtually or at your premises.
