Cyber-security education, through the use of anti-phishing training programs, is vital in a world where humans remain the weakest link in the cyber-security chain.
“We named our company Beauceron, after a type of sheepdog, and we feel it is appropriate, because our solutions help to turn employees from passive victims of cyber-crime into active defenders against it – or from sheep to sheepdogs, in other words,” he says. “The reality is that a really good program, when sending out simulated phishing attacks, should get you to a click range of around 3-5%. If your click rate is zero, chances are the program doesn’t actually represent the real risks your employees are facing,” he explains.
“Remember, there are other, less distressing ways to educate people around such potential threats. You could provide these in a training module, or in a newsletter, or even a talk that is non-threatening, and does not single out individuals. You will still achieve the goal of educating that person, without the attendant distress.”
