Security Awareness Training
Your biggest data and network security risk may come from within your business, often due to uninformed employees. Security awareness training educates staff, strengthening resilience and ensuring a more secure organisation.
Did you know that 91% of successful data breaches begin with a phishing attack, costing medium and large businesses an average of £10,830 per breach? This means it has never been more important to protect your sensitive information from a costly employee error.
One of the best ways to protect your business is to implement a company-wide security awareness training campaign. Croft have partnered with KnowBe4, an innovative cyber security provider to deliver automated training and simulated phishing campaigns.
Deploying this strategy will help to continuously educate staff, helping to build a more resilient and secure organisation.
What is Phishing?
Phishing is when a criminal attempts to obtain sensitive information by pretending to be someone else or a reputable company. Most often this is via email but could also be via text or a phone call.
How can it effect my business?
Reputational damage, loss of custom, loss of money, business disruption and data breaches can be the result of a successful phishing attack. These threats are on the rise because they are extremely profitable and users are exposed to increasingly more sophisticated social engineering threats everyday.
