In today’s digital world, where many people work in hybrid or remote settings, sensitive and private information is shared and stored online.
Technology is everywhere and has become a fundamental part of modern life in recent years. We all rely on it at home and at work, so the importance of cyber security awareness cannot be overstated.
Increasing Threats in a Digital World
With so much information shared online, the threat of data breaches and phishing attacks is everywhere. Phishing scams are becoming increasingly harder to spot, so it’s important for your staff, especially those working online, to be aware of any threats and vulnerabilities within your business as early as possible.
Hybrid and Remote Work Security Risks
The vast migration towards remote working has meant many businesses and individuals are becoming more susceptible than ever to potential security threats and cyber crime.
Ensuring your staff are up-to-date with cyber security best practices and the latest updates to GDPR laws is imperative for protecting your company, as well as your staff and employees, from this ever-increasing online threat.
Economic and Geopolitical Impact on Cyber Security
Besides our increased reliance on online work, current global economic and geopolitical disruption has made us more susceptible than ever to the growing threat of cyber crime.
Statistics on Cyber Attacks in Northern Ireland
Recent government statistics reveal that a staggering 39% of businesses experienced a cyber attack in 2022*, highlighting the importance of cyber security awareness training for your employees.

Strategic and Proactive Approaches to Cyber Security
Recovering from a cyber attack can be difficult and costly. As new security threats emerge every day, businesses must act with vigilance and be strategic and proactive in their approach to cyber security.
While many assume cyber security is the sole responsibility of IT or digital departments, it’s important to remember that it affects every individual within your organisation.
Training for All Employees
With most individuals working online in some capacity, everyone has a responsibility to ensure the organisation complies with the latest laws and guidance regarding cyber security.
Our cyber security awareness training for employees in Northern Ireland provides comprehensive online security for employees at every level within your company, regardless of their role.
Importance of Day One Training
Advice from data protection experts is that cyber security training is completed on day one of employment to ensure all staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities from the outset to minimise the threat of cyber attacks.
Regular Refresher Courses
Cyber security awareness training doesn’t begin and end on day one. Criminals are continually creating new and increasingly clever scams.
So, our cyber security awareness course is regularly updated to ensure you and your employees are up-to-date with the latest threats and laws.
Human Error and Data Breaches
According to Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74% of all data breaches can be traced back to human error. Mistakes can always happen – however, ensuring that each and every individual has undergone up-to-date cyber security training can help you minimise the threat of fatal errors caused by lack of training.
