Phishing Awareness Training

Employee training is the best line of defense to reduce the risk of data compromise from phishing attacks. Unlike most forms of cyberattacks, phishing attacks are preventable. Rather than relying on technology to defend against attacks, phishing defense relies on employees to recognize and report attacks. DIGIGUARD cybersecurity experts will customize employee training and assessment for your small or mid-sized business. Our consultants will educate your employees on how to spot and report phishing attempts. We will explain the dangers of engaging with or sharing credentials with suspicious sources. Our team will gather information about the goals and scope of your project and provide:

• Customized testing to discover existing areas of weakness
• Employee training to recognize the type and potential impact of phishing attempts
• Phishing simulation campaigns tailored to your business and industry
• Training reinforcement focused on areas in need of remediation
• Assessing and monitoring of results to show immediate progress and ongoing training needs

Baseline Testing

DIGIGUARD will simulate several common phishing scenarios across your company employees to assess the general level of vulnerability and determine which areas, departments, roles or employees need the most remediation. Our testing template will enable our team to gather baseline results to assess all levels of employees, up to and including senior management. This information will tell us where to focus your employee training and will allow us to measure progress. Our consultants will also observe general cybersecurity email practices at your company and observe adherence to:

• Credential management
• Safe internet habits
• Social networking safe practices
