Why Security Awareness is Crucial
Security awareness is the first line of defence in any organisation’s cybersecurity strategy. In a world where cyber threats are evolving rapidly, understanding the basics of cybersecurity is essential for every employee. Stygian Cyber Security specialises in providing comprehensive security awareness training as part of our Managed Security Services.
The Rising Tide of Cyber Threats
Cyber threats are not just increasing in number but also in sophistication. From ransomware attacks to phishing scams, businesses are facing an unprecedented level of risk. According to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures, cybercrime is expected to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually by 2025.
The Role of Employees in Security Awareness
Employees often serve as the gateway for cybercriminals. A single click on a malicious link can compromise an entire network. Therefore, security awareness training is not just for IT professionals but for everyone in the organisation.
Implementing a Security Awareness Programme
Creating a security awareness programme is more than just a one-time training session. It’s an ongoing process that involves regular updates, assessments, and real-world simulations. SANS Institute offers a comprehensive guide on how to implement an effective security awareness programme.
How Stygian Cyber Security Can Help
Our Cyber Essentials services include customised security awareness training tailored to your business needs. We don’t just provide a one-size-fits-all solution; we understand the unique challenges your business may face.
Measuring the Impact of Security Awareness
It’s crucial to measure the effectiveness of your security awareness programme. Key performance indicators (KPIs) such as the number of reported phishing attempts can provide valuable insights. A study by Infosec Institute shows that effective security awareness training can reduce phishing susceptibility by up to 70%.

Security awareness is not a one-time event but a continuous journey. With the right training and tools, you can significantly reduce the risk of a cyber attack.
