Storing and accessing customer data mixed with limited resources to dedicate to cybersecurity means your organization may be at a higher risk of suffering a cyber-attack.
66% of cybercriminals rank email phishing as their attack vector of choice. Unsuspecting employees may be fooled by an illegitimate email without thinking twice.

48% of hackers and incident respondents spend 1-5 hours per week keeping up with security news, trends, and technologies. Technology is a reactive way of thinking, so how can we compete? We need to take a proactive approach to cyber security to stop cybercriminals in their tracks by strengthening employees - your first layer of defence.
With password reuse and social engineering attacks running rampant, having credentials associated with your organization on the dark web can put your organization at increased risk of becoming a target.
Phishing has become the #1 attack method of choice for cybercriminals due to its high success rate. According to the Ponemon Institute, organizations see a 64% improvement in phishing click rates with a security training program.
92% of data breaches are caused by human error. Cisco says, "Companies shouldn't just throw technology at the problem. Up-skilling users and making them more cyber-aware is vital."
Annual security training is a great way to cover the basics of cybersecurity, but repetition equals retention. Ongoing education is key in a robust cybersecurity program.
