From Weakest Link to Human Firewall
Empower Employees To Be Cybersecurity Champions
Cybercrime continues to rapidly increase and evolve, wreaking havoc across the globe, particularly among small and mid-sized businesses. Bad actors and malicious outsiders are hacking human behavior, using psychological tricks and deception to manipulate individuals into divulging private or sensitive information, such as their user credentials, financial information and other sensitive data — or tricking them into unwittingly downloading malware.

To Be Forewarned Is to Be Forearmed
While your organization may have the strongest and most up-to-date security systems in place, it could prove to be a wasted investment if your staff isn’t adequately trained as well. Users are still the weakest link when it comes to cybersecurity. Employee education is the only way to ensure that your workforce follows best practices, thereby limiting the risk and vulnerability your organization could be exposed to, while also creating a culture of security.
Most employees have zero knowledge or understanding about existing threats or how to detect them on their own. Effective security awareness training will empower employees with the insight and confidence they need to identify cybersecurity threats and proactively work to avoid falling victim to them.
