Cyber criminals actively targeting people rather than systems because they see people as the weakest link. Threats like ransomware, data breaches, financial fraud and brand reputation damage all occur due to cyber criminals tricking or spoofing staff through social engineering and phishing emails.
Therefore, we see employees as being the greatest security asset in every organisation and we recommend every organisation implements a cyber security first culture. This involves training your employees to recognise what are the cyber security risks and what to look out for when they are carrying out their day to day jobs.
We help customers measure the level of Human Cyber Risk in their business and mitigate this risk by raising staff awareness and enabling clients to meet their compliance obligations (e.g. GDPR, NY DFS, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ASD4) and security accreditations (e.g. ISO27001, NIST, COBIT ) through comprehensive reporting.
Cyber Security awareness training is a proven educational approach for improving risky employee online and IT behaviours that can lead to security compromises for your organisation. Through the delivery of bite-sized, regular relevant information and education on subjects including information security, social engineering, malware, and industry-specific compliance topics, security awareness training increases employee resilience to cyber attacks at home and in the workplace.
Phishing simulation is a program that you can use to send highly realistic phishing / spoofing emails or SMSs (text messages) to employees in order to gauge their awareness of attacks. From sending phishing emails or texts you can gauge the level of employee security knowledge through a number of KPIs including open and click through rates. Phishing simulation is typically used in coordination with phishing training that educates employees about how these attacks work and how to avoid them. Repeat offenders can be assigned further training to improve their knowledge.
CommSec partner with SafeTitan to deliver security awareness training programs to users. The primary services are for detecting Phishing and making users so aware of these threats, that they effectively become a “Human Firewall” and become your first line of defence against cyber crime.
Engaging and enjoyable security awareness training. Our training content is
innovative and engaging; and furthermore, is constantly refreshed to be in line with the demands of the evolving cyber threat landscape.
The program is easy to set up on any computer network; training campaigns, quizzes and simulated attacks can be formed and utilised within minutes of the initial startup process being completed. All content is delivered in-browser and accessible on PC, Laptop or mobile device.
Security concerns are global, but some topics require additional regional knowledge. CommSec is prepared to meet these customer needs, and offers honed trainings in topics like PCI, Data Protection (for GDPR, HIPPA, or South Africa), etc.
The training videos are developed to be short and concise, keeping staff productive and informed in a matter of minutes.
The customisation aspect of the training program means that all elements can be designed based on the company and their unique program requirements. Phishing templates an be crafted according to unique branding and in-house campaign communications, simulation attachments can be formed based on company documents and emails can be spoofed for sophisticated response analysis.
For company leaders with little time or resources to roll out security awareness directly on their systems, CommSec offers managed services. Our managed services are designed so that we take full control of the threat analysis and can provide clients with actionable reports on their teams and the performance of their security awareness processes around the clock.
