For example, up to 80% of employees cannot accurately recognise phishing emails.

The role of employees in an organisation’s IT security cannot be underestimated. Untrained employees can inadvertently open the door to cybercriminals by, for example

• Falling for phishing emails,
• Using weak passwords,
• Sharing sensitive information.

Still not sure if it’s a good idea to train your employees in cyber and information security and safe digital behaviour? Then read on here.

Why invest in IT awareness training?

If your employees don’t recognise the most common cyber threats and lack the knowledge to properly deal with them, it can have serious consequences for your business. Among other things, you risk:

• Data Leaks
• Fines for breach of GDPR
• Huge financial losses
• Damage to the company’s reputation

Awareness training is crucial to make your employees an asset instead of a risk.

Minimise the risk of cyberattacks by 70%

The good news is that IT awareness training and education in safe digital behaviour reduces the risk of successful cyber-attacks by up to 70%. This is because your employees will be able to recognise phishing emails, insecure links and URLs, and manipulative attempts to elicit information from employees themselves.
