EDUCATION AND TRAINING
CCS OUTSOURCED CYBER AWARENESS PROGRAM
CCS can manage your entire Cyber Awareness and Culture Program. Embracing an outsourced managed cyber awareness program is a strategic decision that can transform an organisation’s approach to cybersecurity. Such programs offer a wealth of expertise and resources that may be beyond the scope of in-house capabilities. They provide continuous, up-to-date training that evolves with the threat landscape, ensuring that employees remain aware of the latest cyber threats and best practices. Outsourcing cyber awareness also allows organisations to benefit from specialised knowledge and innovative training methodologies, which can lead to more engaging and effective learning experiences. This not only strengthens the human element of cybersecurity but also allows internal IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than training development. In essence, an outsourced managed cyber awareness program is a proactive investment in an organisation’s digital health, fostering a resilient and informed culture that is critical for safeguarding against cyber threats.
CCS EDUCATION SESSIONS
Diverse and effective cybersecurity education sessions are crucial in equipping people with the knowledge and skills to combat the ever-evolving cyber threats. CCS prides itself on the development and delivery of tailored sessions cater to various learning styles and roles within an organisation, ensuring that everyone, from the tech-savvy to the novices, understands the importance of cybersecurity. These sessions can range from interactive workshops to engaging simulations, covering topics like phishing, password management, and secure browsing. The benefits are substantial: they foster a culture of security awareness, enhance the ability to identify and prevent potential breaches, and ensure that all employees are up-to-date with the latest security personal defence information. As a result, the organisation benefits from a well-informed team that can act as a robust human firewall against cyber threats, safeguarding the organisation’s reputation and assets. Our list of information session topics are many and varied.
SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENCE
Building a defence against social engineering is paramount in the cybersecurity strategy of any organisation. Social engineering attacks exploit human psychology, rather than technical vulnerabilities. By training employees to recognise and respond to these deceptive tactics, organisations can create a human firewall against such threats. This defence is crucial because even the most advanced security technologies can be bypassed by tricking someone into clicking a malicious link or revealing sensitive information. A strong social engineering defence involves regular awareness training, simulated phishing exercises, and a culture that encourages scepticism and verification. Investing in these defences not only protects critical assets but also fosters a vigilant and informed workforce, capable of thwarting attacks that machines alone cannot detect.
CCS PHISHING INTENSIVE TRAINING
CCS has developed a unique behavioural science-based approach to phishing defence training. Phishing intensive training sessions are crucial in fortifying an organisation’s cybersecurity posture. These sessions equip employees with the knowledge to identify and respond to phishing attempts, which are often the precursors to more severe security breaches. It is vital employees recognise the subtle cues of fraudulent communications. This proactive approach not only reduces the risk of data breaches but also fosters a culture of security awareness within the company. Investing in such training is a strategic move that can save organisations from the potentially catastrophic costs associated with successful phishing attacks, safeguarding both their reputation and assets.
CCS’s VERY ATTACKED PEOPLE TRAINING
Developing specialist training for individuals who are frequently targeted by cyber attacks—often referred to as Very Attacked People (VAPs)—is a critical strategy in fortifying an organisation’s human defences. VAPs, such as executives, Finance, HR, IT staff, or employees with access to sensitive information, are prime targets for sophisticated social engineering and spear-phishing attacks. Specialist training tailored to these high-risk individuals can significantly enhance their ability to detect and defend against targeted threats. This focused approach ensures that VAPs are not only aware of the risks but are also equipped with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves and the organisation. By prioritising the security education of VAPs, organisations can create a strong line of defence where it’s most needed, mitigating the risk of breaches that could lead to severe financial and reputational damage.
CCS BEC DEFENCE TRAINING
Building a robust Business Email Compromise (BEC) Fraud Prevention program is essential for modern organisations to protect against one of the most financially damaging online crimes. BEC scams involve cybercriminals impersonating company executives or business partners in emails to trick employees into transferring money or changing sensitive information such as bank accounts. A strong BEC prevention strategy combines technology solutions, such as email filtering and authentication protocols, with employee education to recognise and defend against fraudulent communications. By prioritising BEC fraud prevention, organisations can safeguard their financial assets, maintain the integrity of their communication channels, and preserve the trust of their clients and partners. It’s a critical investment in your company’s security posture that mitigates the risk of substantial financial loss and reputational harm.
CCS GAMIFIED CYBER AWARENESS TRAINING - CYBERCATION
Gamified learning harnesses the engaging power of games to enhance educational experiences, making the acquisition of knowledge not just effective but also enjoyable. By integrating game design elements into learning environments, it taps into the innate human love for play, fostering motivation and deepening engagement. This innovative approach to education leverages rewards, challenges, and interactive storytelling to transform traditional learning into an interactive journey. It caters to various learning styles and paces, allowing for personalised education paths that can adapt to the learner’s progress. The value of gamified learning lies in its ability to turn the learning process into a captivating adventure, leading to improved retention rates, fostering creativity, and encouraging continuous personal development. In essence, gamified learning is not just about playing games; it’s about leveraging the psychology of gaming to create a rich, immersive, and impactful learning experience.
