Employee cyber training solution ticks all the boxes

With the amount of technology at our fingertips there’s little wonder cyber security is a hot topic on everyone’s lips. And while it’s easy to become complacent and focus on the daily operations of running your business, being cyber safe is an area that needs prioritisation.

Whether your business is small or large, if you do anything online you should step up your cyber security. There is a lot at stake. You can be hacked, have malware installed on your devices, be held to ransom and have data such as personal information stolen. Knowing where and how to start can be daunting. But there are easy solutions to keep you cyber safe that don’t cost the earth or chew up too much time.

The importance of training employees on cyber security

We talk to Laura Angove, IT technician from Moama Anglican School on the My Business cyber solution that’s keeping their community cyber aware.

Laura was introduced to the cyber training solution by a colleague and in a short space of time the business and employees are reaping the benefits. Subscribing to the training product was an easy decision.

“The product is an effective solution to counter the human element of cyber security. The bite-sized training sessions are engaging and can be done in a matter of minutes. Because they are spread out over a period of time, they’re not overwhelming to our staff who already have busy schedules to manage,” she says.

A solution that educates employees on cyber security

To get things rolling, a cyber security health check allows you to understand where the knowledge gaps are within your workforce. Training is then tailored around the risk areas. Once you identify the risks, you can set up phishing simulations and automated monthly training.

Laura says: “It is very straightforward to use. The initial setup was simple and customising the training program and phishing simulation tools to suit our evolving needs has been very intuitive.”

Laura has found the learnings can be put into practice straight away giving employees a confidence boost.

“We have already seen the benefits, and employees that were originally flagged as ‘high risk’ have had their risk scores dramatically decreased,” she says.

With the training being engaging, interactive and effective, it provides employers and business owners peace of mind in knowing it will achieve results that can make a real difference.

“Our staff have had the opportunity to learn about identity theft, the risks of using passwords in multiple areas, as well as the learning in detail about the characteristics of phishing emails with great simulations,” Laura says.

My Business Cyber also has extra features such as a dashboard that complements the easy-to-use nature of the product. Laura explains: “An all in one, graphically pleasing report centre gives you the ability to monitor progress of employees or at a company level at a glance. This in itself helps create tailored training solutions for individuals or teams.”

Subscribers can access an extensive range of resources such as toolkits, checklists, policies and legal documents. Visit My Business Cyber and make it your destination for cyber awareness training.
