In today’s digital-first landscape, the human element remains one of the most significant vulnerabilities in any organisation’s cybersecurity posture. For IT and cybersecurity professionals in the UK, fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness among employees is crucial. However, finding the right partners and solutions to facilitate this is equally paramount. Here are the key considerations, based on input from Security IT Summit delegates and suppliers, for ensuring effective employee cybersecurity training and awareness…

  1. Comprehensive Content:
    • Relevance: Training content should be relevant to the organisation’s specific threats and industry sector.
    • Up-to-date Material: The cyber landscape evolves rapidly; training materials should reflect the most recent threat intelligence.
  2. Engaging Delivery Methods:
    • Interactive Modules: Interactive e-learning platforms can boost engagement and retention.
    • Real-life Scenarios: Simulated phishing campaigns or breach scenarios allow employees to practice their response in a controlled environment.
  3. Continuous Learning:
    • Regular Updates: Cyber threats change continuously; regular training refreshers are vital.
    • Newsletters and Bulletins: Monthly or weekly cyber updates can keep security top-of-mind for employees.
  4. Assessment and Feedback:
    • Knowledge Checks: Quizzes or tests can gauge employee understanding and highlight areas that need further training.
    • Feedback Mechanisms: Ensure employees have a platform to provide feedback or ask questions about the training.
  5. Scalability and Customisation:
    • Adaptable Solutions: The chosen training solution should be scalable to accommodate organisation growth.
    • Tailored Training: Content should be customisable to address the unique risks and policies of the organisation.
  6. Certifications and Compliance:
    • Industry Standards: Training programs should align with recognised industry standards and best practices.
    • Record Keeping: For compliance purposes, ensure the solution provides detailed records of employee training and completion.
  7. Engagement and Culture:
    • Gamification: Incorporating game elements can make training more engaging and competitive.
    • Leadership Buy-in: Executive endorsement can drive a culture where cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility.
  8. Partner Reputation and Expertise:
    • Track Record: Consider partners with a proven track record in delivering effective cybersecurity awareness training.
    • Continuous Development: Partners should invest in updating and improving their training solutions regularly.
  9. Integration Capabilities:
    • Learning Management System (LMS) Integration: Ensure the training platform can integrate with existing LMS or HR systems for streamlined management.
    • Multi-device Accessibility: Training should be accessible across various devices, including mobiles and tablets, catering to a modern workforce.
  10. Budget and Return on Investment (ROI):
  • Cost Analysis: While budget is a factor, it’s vital to weigh the costs against the potential losses from a cyber breach.
  • Measurable Outcomes: Choose solutions that offer measurable outcomes to gauge ROI effectively.

As cyber threats continue to evolve, so too must our defence strategies. Ensuring employees are knowledgeable and vigilant against cyber risks is a foundational step. By selecting the right partners and solutions, organisations can significantly bolster their cybersecurity resilience, turning their human element from a potential vulnerability into a formidable line of defence.

Identifying threats and educating staff about safety are the key issues for the UK’s cyber security professionals in 2018.

The findings come from a survey of the senior cyber security professionals attending this summer’s Security IT Summit, which takes place on July 3rd at the Hilton London, Canary Wharf.

These professionals include representatives from the likes of DXC Technologies, Financial Ombudsman Services, Freight Transport Association, London Stock Exchange Group, Marshall Motor Group, O2 Telefonica, Prudential, The Guardian, Vodafone and many more.

While the majority have highlighted a general cyber security strategy as the number one issue, are prominent areas of interest, closely followed by Access Control, Intrusion Detection, Malware, Penetration Testing and Phishing Detection.

“With a number of high profile breaches over the past 12 months, cyber security has never been so important to businesses and organisations of all sizes,” said Senior Portfolio Sales Manager Chris Cannon. “As our research demonstrates, analysing the threat of security and educating staff are key issues.”
