Boost the weakest link in information security – the human factor

We carried out a test with a customer using social engineering. The result was an alarming number of employees who disclosed confidential information to us. Using that information, we could easily get to the company data. We thus identified the need for training employees in the risks they face.

From  our offer, the contracting entity selected training in the form of e-learning. In short entertaining videos, the employees learned everything about IT security at the workplace as well as in everyday life. According to the feedback, they appreciated the engaging form, understandable lecture and usefulness of the information for everyday life.

After a while, we repeated the social engineering tests and reached considerably better results. The employees were able to recognise threats and respond accordingly. Only those who had not completed all courses acted incorrectly.

Solution description

The course content has been prepared by data security experts and is based on practice and long-standing experience.
