Are Your Employees Trained To Handle Cyberthreats?

According to various reports, a new cyberattack is launched every 39 seconds. Employees are the company's first line of defense against cybercrime. Armed employees with knowledge and security awareness training must spot and stop cyberattacks and reduce your company's chance of cybersecurity incidents by up to 70%. Mitigating the risk is a big help in preventing any threats before they penetrate your company's networking system.

But the question is: Are your employees properly trained to confidently deal with different and dangerous cyberthreats?

PHISHING

The most common threat that employees face is also the most dangerous and 1 in 3 employees who receive a phishing message take the bait.

MALICIOUS  INSIDER

Employees who know what to look for can spot suspicious activity fast. Malicious insider actions are responsible for an estimated 25% of confirmed data breaches.

CREDENTIAL COMPROMISE

Good password hygiene can prevent bad security outcomes faster than anything else. Over 40% of organizations have been compromised by a bad password.

SPEAR PHISHING

Phishing threats are evolving to be harder to detect to constantly slip past business security. Unfortunately, 97% of employees can’t detect a sophisticated phishing email.

ACCOUNT TAKEOVER (ATO)

1 in 5 users will face an ATO attack that endangers their company, and very few of them are ready for it.

BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE (BEC)

This complex threat is very hard to detect and very dangerous. BEC  is 64x more damaging to revenue than ransomware for businesses.

RANSOMWARE

Today’s most terrifying threat is growing rapidly with no end in sight. Companies are facing a 64% year-over-year increase in ransomware threat volume.

BRAND FRAUD & SPOOFING

25% of all branded emails that companies receive are spoofed or brand impersonation attempts. Can your users spot a fake?

MALICIOUS ATTACHMENTS

Employees handle attachments every day and one wrong move could be a disaster. Almost 50% of malicious files attached to emails are disguised as Office files.
