Preparing a security awareness training at Tozetta

[ 01 ]Security Awareness

What is security awareness?

You can patch technology, but not behavior. Security awareness is about increasing employees' awareness, so they recognize phishing, social engineering and other cyber threats and know how to respond.

What is security awareness?

Security awareness is the extent to which employees recognize cyber threats such as phishing, social engineering and malware, and know how to respond correctly. Technology alone doesn't protect an organization, the people behind it need to be just as capable of recognizing these threats.

Why does it matter?

As much as 70% of data breaches are caused by human error, not technical vulnerabilities. Hackers increasingly target employees directly, through phishing emails, CEO fraud or phone-based deception.

Who delivers the training?

Our trainings are delivered by young, energetic trainers with hands-on experience as ethical hackers. They show employees, from real practice, how a cybercriminal actually operates.

“Almost immediately after the training we saw several improvement points show up in our backlog. Multiple JIRA tickets appeared right away for things the team wanted to address as a result of the session. When people take immediate action after a training, you know the content really stuck.”

Frequently asked security awareness training questions

What is a cyber security awareness training?

A cyber security awareness training is a training aimed at increasing employees' awareness of cybersecurity. Employees get acquainted with the world of cybercrime and receive tips to prevent your organization from becoming a victim.

Why is a cyber security awareness training important?

A cyber security awareness training is important because employees are often the weakest link in an organization's security. By far most data breaches or hacks are caused by human error. By increasing awareness, employees can contribute to a safer working environment.

What are the benefits of a cyber security awareness training?

The benefits of a cyber security awareness training include increasing employee awareness, reducing the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches, and increasing the organization's safety and productivity.

What is covered during a cyber security awareness training?

During a cyber security awareness training, topics covered include phishing, social engineering, safe password use, and recognizing suspicious activity on the network. At Tozetta, no cyber security awareness training is the same. We respond to the organization's specific request. To properly demonstrate the urgency and importance, we make sure to give practical examples relevant to your company.

How long does a cyber security awareness training take and how often should you repeat it?

The duration of a cyber security awareness training can vary from a few hours to several days, depending on the content and the organization's needs. A cyber security awareness training should be repeated periodically to ensure employees' awareness stays up to date and to address new threats. Hackers are constantly finding new and better techniques. Employees need to stay continuously informed about this.

How do I schedule a cyber security awareness training?

At Tozetta we respond to your needs. By getting in touch, we schedule a no-obligation conversation. In this conversation we want to get to know your company a bit better. Based on our knowledge of your organization and the needs you have, we can put together a proposal. In it you can expect prices, timing, dates and topics.
