What’s at Stake?

It’s a stark fact: cyber attacks can financially cripple your business and harm your brand’s reputation.

The “Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023” from IBM Security and the Ponemon Institute put the average cost of a data breach among 550 surveyed companies at $4.45 million per incident – which represents a 15% increase over the past three years.

In addition to the growing financial impacts of breaches, the volume of attacks against organisations is also growing. Verizon’s “2023 Data Breach Investigations Report” scrutinised 16,312 security incidents spanning 20 industries around the globe. The report confirmed that 5,199 of these incidents were data breaches and that 74% of breaches – including social engineering, misuse or errors — involved members of an organisation’s own staff.

What is Security Awareness Training?

Security awareness training is a strategic approach you can take to educate employees and stakeholders on the importance of cybersecurity and data privacy within your organisation.

The ultimate objective is to enhance security awareness among employees and reduce the risks associated with cyberthreats.

Training can be customised to engage employees of all levels, regardless of how long they’ve been with your organisation.
