Cybersecurity Training

Our users are the last line of our Cybersecurity defences.  Unlike a firewall or malware protection software, users are not always updated with the latest threat profile.  Staff training is an integral part of any Cybersecurity strategy.

We need to create a security-first culture, where staff are informed and supported.  Crucially, this includes when mistakes are made.  

Organisations should foster a culture of continuous learning and alertness among their staff, by providing regular cybersecurity training which is relevant and enjoyable.  

Training needs to fit into busy schedules and importantly, you should measure not only who participates in training, but what outcomes you get, by testing staff alertness.

Why Settle Technology’s clients’ staff watch short and enjoyable training videos once a quarter.  We follow this up by a test, the results of which are reported back to management.  We augment induction programmes (new team members are most likely to make cybersecurity mistakes) and help create a supportive environment.

We are experienced at elevating the cybersecurity culture within an organisation.  This requires visible leadership from key individuals – we have good experience here too.  

A comprehensive training programme of continuous development for staff is easier to achieve than you may think.  It will never guarantee staff are alert to every risk, but the benefits are clear and measurable.
