Cyber Security Training

Cybersecurity is not just an IT issue—it’s a critical component of every organisation’s success and resilience. At Sentry Cyber, we offer comprehensive cyber security training solutions designed to empower your entire team. By educating your staff, you significantly reduce the risk of cyber incidents and protect your most valuable assets.

Why Cyber Security Training is Essential

In today’s digital landscape, threats are constantly evolving, and human error remains one of the most significant vulnerabilities. 91% of all cyber incidents start with a phishing email sent to an unsuspecting inbox. This staggering statistic underscores the importance of equipping everyone in your organisation with the knowledge to identify and respond to potential threats.

Benefits of Cyber Security Training:

  • Risk Reduction: Educated employees are less likely to fall victim to phishing scams or other malicious activities.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Stay aligned with industry standards like ISO27001 Certification, SMB1001, and the Essential Eight.
  • Enhanced Incident Response: A knowledgeable team can respond more effectively during a security breach, minimising potential damage.
  • Strengthened Security Culture: Promote a proactive approach to security across all levels of your organisation.

Our Training Approach

Step 1. Spear Phishing Simulation

 

Spear phishing is a targeted form of phishing where attackers customise fraudulent emails to deceive specific individuals within an organisation. Unlike generic phishing attempts, spear phishing emails appear legitimate and are tailored to the recipient, making them more convincing and harder to detect. Attackers often impersonate a trusted colleague, vendor, or authority figure to trick recipients into revealing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.

Purpose of the Simulation:

  • Identify Vulnerabilities: Determine how susceptible your staff are to sophisticated phishing attacks.
  • Real-World Experience: Provide a practical example of threats they may encounter daily.
  • Baseline Measurement: Establish a starting point to measure the effectiveness of subsequent training.

Step 2. Analyse Results

 

Once the simulation is complete, we analyse the results to pinpoint who requires additional training. This targeted approach ensures that resources are allocated efficiently, and training is provided where it’s needed most.  It’s ideal to do this exercise annually and compare previous years to see how the organisation’s security knowledge is improving or more work is needed.

Customised Cyber Security Training

Following the spear phishing simulation, we develop a tailored training program focused on strengthening your team’s cybersecurity skills.

Training Highlights:

  • Phishing Awareness: Educate employees on recognizing and reporting phishing and spear phishing attempts.
  • Best Practices: Cover essential topics like password management, secure browsing, and data protection.
  • Incident Response Protocols: Train staff on immediate actions to take if they suspect a security threat.
  • Compliance Education: Ensure understanding of relevant regulations and standards, including ISO27001, SMB1001, and Essential Eight Services.
  • Interactive Sessions: Engage participants through real-life scenarios, quizzes, and discussions to reinforce learning.

Why This Approach Works:

  • Engagement: Employees are more engaged when training relates directly to experiences they’ve had, such as the spear phishing simulation.
  • Effectiveness: Targeted training addresses specific weaknesses, leading to a significant reduction in risk.

Immediate Impact: Empowered employees can immediately apply what they’ve learned to protect the organisation.

    Regular Training and Updates

    Cyber threats evolve rapidly, and so should your defence strategies. We advocate for regular cybersecurity training to keep your team informed about the latest threats and best practices.

    Ongoing Support Includes:
