Why User Awareness Training Matters

Cybercriminals are getting smarter, using AI-powered phishing scams, deepfake technology, and social engineering attacks to target businesses. Without proper training, employees can easily fall victim, putting your data, finances, and reputation at risk.

  • 90% of cyberattacks start with human error: Train employees to recognise and response to threats.
  • Compliance requirements are stricter than ever: Avoid hefty fines by staying compliant with GDPR, ISO 27001, and other regulations.
  • Hybrid and remote work increases vulnerabilities: Employees working from various locations need extra security awareness.
  • AI-driven scams are harder to spot: Traditional phishing awareness isn't enough; employees must understand modern threats.
