Many cybersecurity incidents are caused by human errors: employees unknowingly click a malicious link in an email, they use a password that isn’t safe, or they postpone software updates. Keeping your organization safe requires watchful employees with a high cybersecurity awareness. How do you keep their cybersecurity knowledge up to date and their awareness high?
Increase Cybersecurity Awareness
By enhancing their awareness and knowledge, you can make your employees the strongest link in your cybersecurity. Achieve this by establishing a human firewall with continuous training on cybersecurity topics, and assessing your employees’ knowledge with quizzes to enable evidence-based training until your goals are met. Should a cyber incident occur, promptly alert them with unmissable notifications on every screen in your organization.

What is cybersecurity awareness?
Most incidents involve human error. Cybersecurity awareness refers to how much employees know about cyber security threats, the risks they introduce, and best practices to guide their behavior. In the end, humans are often the weakest link. So, to truly strengthen cybersecurity, you must create a human firewall of resilient employees.
Why is cybersecurity awareness important?
Cybersecurity awareness is crucial because the majority of security incidents stem from human error, highlighting the need for comprehensive employee education on cybersecurity threats. By training employees to recognize signs of malicious attacks, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of IT security breaches. This preventive approach not only enhances the overall security posture of an organization but also empowers individuals to contribute actively to cybersecurity efforts, making it a critical component of a robust IT security strategy.
How to raise cybersecurity awareness amongst employees?
The best way to make employees aware of phishing emails’ characteristics and risks to your organization is through continuous training on what to watch to avoid a cyber-attack on their organization. This can be done by displaying small pieces of information on digital signage screens in busy areas of your building, your company app, or your employees’ screensavers or wallpapers.
What is cybersecurity awareness training?
Cybersecurity awareness training educates employees on recognizing, preventing, and responding to various cyber threats such as phishing, malware, and social engineering. Training often include practical exercises, such as simulated attacks or smart campaigns to repeat small chunks of information regularly to reinforce learning. Its goal is to create a human firewall, enhancing the organization’s overall security by making every employee a key part of the defense strategy.
Why is cybersecurity awareness training important?
It equips employees with the knowledge to recognize and respond to cyber threats, significantly reducing the risk of security breaches. By fostering a security-conscious culture, organizations can protect sensitive data and maintain the trust of clients and stakeholders. Continuous training via smart campaigns ensures that employees stay informed about evolving threats and best practices.
How do you communicate in case of a cyber-attack?
In the case of a cyber-attack, communicating effectively involves using real-time alerts and pop-ups to immediately inform and guide employees about the situation. These tools can quickly disseminate critical information, ensuring that all stakeholders are aware of the breach and understand their roles in mitigating its impact. Real-time communication helps maintain transparency, provides updates as the situation evolves, and offers actionable advice to prevent further damage.
How can we effectively communicate cybersecurity awareness to employees?
Use corporate screensavers, digital signage, an employee app, pop-ups, and SMS notifications to consistently reach employees. Ensure engaging content and run smart campaigns from Netpresenter to maintain interest. This multi-channel approach guarantees that important cybersecurity messages are effectively communicated across the organization.
How can remote employees stay cyber-safe?
Remote employees should use secure networks, preferably with a VPN, and enable multi-factor authentication for all accounts. Keeping software and antivirus programs updated is crucial, along with avoiding the use of personal devices for work-related activities. Educating employees about the risks of public Wi-Fi and encouraging the use of strong, unique passwords also enhances cybersecurity.
