Business email compromise (BEC) is the most common cyber threat to businesses. Here’s how to spot it.

My staff don’t understand cyber security best practices.
My staff can’t identify phishing attacks.
We don’t have a ransomware action plan.
Build a cyber aware culture with bite-sized training courses for all staff. Each course features animated explainer videos and short quizzes that help keep your people engaged.
Email compromise makes up around one-third of all business cybercrime. Teach your staff to identify malicious emails with simulations based on real-world attacks.
Test your team’s security readiness with a one-off phishing simulation. We’ll provide a detailed report that makes it easy to work out whether you need ongoing cyber awareness training.
Over 95% of cyber breaches are caused by human error.
Awareness training matters.

Cyber awareness training shouldn’t be complex.
Our courses are centred around key skills like password hygiene and phishing emails detection.
If your security training isn’t engaging, the lessons won’t stick.
Our training platform includes bite-sized animated lessons and gamified features like office leaderboards.
Email compromise is the most common type of cyber attack – but it’s far from the only one.
Our training courses cover all the attack vectors your staff are likely to be exposed to (with short, animated explainers based on real-life incidents).
See exactly how your staff perform across training and attack simulations with comprehensive reporting.
View course enrolment levels, check phishing metrics like click-through rates, and see risk profiles for individual employees, all via our online training platform.
If a staff member is more likely to be compromised, they’ll be automatically funnelled into more comprehensive training.

A cyber awareness program is an initiative that helps build a culture of cyber security awareness in an organisation. It normally involves a combination of awareness-focused education and phishing simulation – ideally, adapted to each employee’s unique risk profile. (Some staff, like executives and finance personnel, are more likely to be targeted by cyber adversaries.)
The end goal of a cyber awareness program is to reduce human risk. It’s not a replacement for other cyber security defences.
The simplest way to set up a cyber awareness program is to work with an IT partner like us. We’ll enrol your staff in our online training platform, where they’ll receive bite-sized training modules at set intervals. We’ll also do things like develop each staff member’s risk profile and send out regular phishing simulations.
Getting your staff enrolled in cyber awareness training is fast and easy. We’ll develop risk profiles for each of your users based on their role and exposure level, then enrol them into our online training platform. They’ll receive their first training course shortly after.
With that said: building a cyber aware culture, like any behaviour change, takes time. We make training as engaging and accessible as possible, but your leaders need to play their part too. They need to participate in awareness courses, require that their teams to do the same, and, critically, practice being security-first. That means following your organisation’s cyber SOPs and praising (rather than punishing) staff for doing things like confirming the identity of an email sender.
Over 95% of cyber breaches are caused by human error. If you’re not convinced that cyber awareness training is worth it, though, engage a provider like us to send your staff a fake phishing email. We’ll then provide a report that covers metrics like click-through rates and spam/phishing flags. In our experience, the vast majority of untrained staff will click phishing email links – which is exactly how adversaries can bypass your cyber security defences.

Meeting all of the 5Cs is critical for maintaining a strong, resilient security posture.
