Careless or uninformed staff are the second most likely cause of a serious security breach, second only to malware.

The current security threat landscape is rapidly changing. The threats you faced yesterday will not be the threats you face tomorrow. Today’s attackers are typically highly trained, financially motivated and possibly in the employ of nation states.

A whole-of-business approach to security awareness training is needed encompassing everyone.

Attackers are systematically adapting techniques to target the weakest elements in your business. Their attacks are wide and also targeted, with motivated attackers carefully perfecting their craft to get handsome returns on their investment in time.

People remain the weak link in the security of networks, applications and data. It is not only the rank-and-file employees who succumb to phishing scams who pose risks. Most businesses believe that the shiny new technologies they’ve acquired will protect them from everything while producing the reporting they need to comply with standards and regulations. However, human points of interaction have the potential to undermine even the most comprehensively designed systems through a simple mouse click.

Security Awareness Training Program (SATP)

Thu, 07 Nov 2019 05:32:45 +0000

The current security threat landscape is replete with aggressive, tenacious and pernicious threats. Today’s attackers are typically highly trained, financially motivated and possibly in the employ of nation states.

Our adversaries tend to have extensive monetary and human resources and the capability to deliver exceptionally well planned, fine-tuned and orchestrated attacks. Motivations now range from political influence, vandalism and theft of customer data and intellectual
property to ransom and extortion on an industrial scale.

A cyberattack can jeopardise operations and create reputational and brand damage, which causes irreparable harm to larger companies and threatens the very existence of smaller ones.

Cyberattacks can also bring public infrastructure to its knees.

Historically, organisations have invested extensively in mitigation through a myriad of hardware and software solutions, that despite their technical capabilities, are not alone adequate to solve the problem. Technology represents only one dimension of the response we can make to manage down cyber risk. We now have extremely capable adversaries who are adapting their techniques to exploit the weakest element in the environment. Invariably, this relates to the most valuable asset in the organisation – its people.

Threats like these require an approach that can meet this challenge and the people to lead and deliver confidence in the face of adversity.
