Two ways to boost cybersecurity with Netpresenter

October is Cybersecurity Month! This is the perfect time to highlight that cybersecurity is more important than ever in today’s digital landscape. As you probably know, poor cybersecurity can have severe consequences. According to PwC’s Global Digital Trust Insights 2025, the average cost of a data breach is an astounding US$3.3 million. In this article, we introduce two effective ways to enhance your organization’s cybersecurity using Netpresenter: empowering your first line of defense and ensuring rapid communication during cyber incidents.

1. Empower your first line of defense

Preventing cybersecurity incidents starts with empowering your employees—your first line of defense. Human error is considered the primary cause of cybersecurity incidents. By increasing employee awareness and encouraging desired behaviors, employees can become a human firewall, reducing vulnerability to cyber attacks. How? Through cybersecurity training.

Yearly one-off training sessions aren’t enough to realise this. People often forget information over time, and their cybersecurity awareness diminishes. It’s crucial to keep cybersecurity top of mind. That’s why continuous cybersecurity training is key. Sharing small, actionable insights repeatedly on all screens helps employees retain information better and stay aware—regardless of their location. Displaying insights in a visually engaging way captures attention and aids in processing the information. Complementing this approach with frequent testing of employees’ cybersecurity knowledge helps identify areas for improvement, ensuring training can be optimized, so the entire team can recognize threats and respond appropriately when it’s needed most.

Netpresenter Smart Campaigns enable this continuous training to build a human firewall. By delivering repetitive, visually appealing content on TVs (Digital Signage), PCs (Corporate Screensaver), and mobile devices (Employee App) without disrupting daily workflows, Smart Campaigns help employees stay up to date on cybersecurity. This feature uses AI-driven testing and training to identify weak areas and automatically adjust content, ensuring that training goals are met and the organization’s defenses are strengthened.

2. Rapid communication during cyber incidents

Even with the best preventive measures in place, cyber incidents can still occur. When they do, fast, robust, and effective communication is crucial. Quickly alerting all employees, providing clear instructions, and ensuring everyone has received the message—no matter the size of the cyberattack—is essential to prevent further harm.

Employees are not at their desk or not in the office, email is compromised or even the entire internet connection is down. Common circumstances during a cyberattack. Sending an email simply won’t suffice when this occurs. It’s vital to inform everyone immediately, wherever they are. Tracking who has and hasn’t read the message is key to ensuring everyone is informed with proper follow-up. Additionally, communication redundancy is crucial for cybersecurity. No matter how severe the cyber attack, there must always be a way to reach employees.

Netpresenter Alerts is the solution to inform everyone, everywhere. With our proven alerting solution, TVs, PCs and mobile phones turn into one big alerting system that reaches everyone, regardless of their location in case of a cyber incident. Since alerts appear on all screens, they’re hard to miss. To be absolutely sure about this, acknowledgement buttons can be added to track who did miss the alert. This allows for effective follow-up until 100% coverage is achieved. By using all available screens, there’s always a way to alert employees—even if the internet is down, SMS or app notifications can still be used.
