Why is phishing email awareness training important?


 Empower your staff

90% of malware, including ransomware, is delivered by phishing attacks. Training your staff to recognise them and take appropriate action is one of the most important things you can do to keep your organisation secure. Educate employees so they can enforce best practices and reduce your risk of a successful attack or breach.

 Awareness of the latest threats

Phishing campaigns are constantly evolving, and new threats emerge from month to month. Therefore, the Phishing Staff Awareness Training Programme is updated four times a year to ensure it is up to date with the latest attacks.

Strengthen your defences

Investing in expensive technology won’t matter if your staff don’t know what to do if they’ve been targeted.

 Protect your brand and data assets 

Prevent a data breach or security incident by training your staff to actively help to mitigate cyber risks.

 Demonstrate your commitment to security

Ensure staff receive appropriate awareness training, and everyone has the same level and quality of training.

 Showcase your employee’s knowledge

Enable your employees to demonstrate their competence in phishing awareness with digital badges. These can be included in email signatures and shared on social platforms.

  • What is social engineering?
  • How to identify social engineering attacks
  • What are the consequences of a phishing attack?

Course overview

Cyber security and phishing go hand in hand, so doing everything you can to defend against phishing attacks is essential. According to the 2019 Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 80% of organisations that suffered a cyber attack were targeted by phishing attacks. 

No matter how many technological defences are in place, no email filtering method is 100% successful, so it’s often left to the recipient to decide whether or not to open a phishing email or click a malicious link. It is here that phishing awareness training can make a vital difference. 

Watch our short video for an overview of the phishing course modules, how users interact with course content, and some examples of the interactive tasks.

very informative and a great way to learn. This course was purchased for the entire business to complete. All employees successfully passed the test, however it was challenging and you definitely had to read and absorb the content.

A very good course - E-Learning solution is perfect for our organisation and is used to induct new members of staff.

I certainly like the steps through the modules - it clearly builds the picture and explains the terminology in an easy-to-understand manner. I tend to prefer E-Learning for my staff and as an SME, consider very good value for money learning - recommended content.
