Security awareness training is valuable. Recognizing suspicious emails, questioning unexpected login requests, and knowing what phishing looks like: all of that makes attacks harder.

But here’s the honest truth: with enough effort, anyone can be phished. I run simulated phishing campaigns for clients regularly as part of Cyber Attack Simulation engagements, and I have never failed to catch at least a few users, no matter how good their training is.

Security Awareness Training, staff training phishing, social engineering, passwords

Security Awareness Training teaches your staff to recognize and resist the attacks that cause most breaches: phishing, social engineering, and weak passwords, delivered by a pentester who actually runs these attacks.

Most cyber attacks begin with a human error. Someone has set a weak password or opened the wrong email attachment. Therefore, it is essential that all employees are trained on how to behave correctly.
