What is cyber awareness training?
Cyber awareness training helps staff recognise and respond to common security threats before they become incidents. Good training goes beyond “do not click links”: it teaches verification habits, phishing warning signs, MFA abuse, business email compromise, payment fraud, safe data handling and a clear process for reporting anything suspicious.
Training built around business decisions.
People do not need to become cyber-security specialists. They need to recognise risk, verify unusual requests and know when to escalate.

Cyber security training FAQs
What is phishing awareness training?
Phishing awareness training teaches people how attackers use email, messages, fake login pages and impersonation to steal credentials or persuade staff to take unsafe actions. Effective training gives employees practical checks and a clear reporting process rather than simply telling them to be more careful.
What should an employee do after clicking a phishing link?
They should stop interacting with the page, report the incident immediately and follow the organisation’s response process. If credentials were entered, the account may need urgent password reset, session revocation and investigation. Fast reporting is more valuable than trying to hide the mistake.
Does MFA stop phishing?
MFA significantly improves account security, but it does not eliminate phishing. Attackers may use real-time credential theft, session-token attacks, MFA fatigue or convincing support impersonation. Staff still need to recognise unusual sign-in prompts and suspicious requests.
Can cyber awareness training support cyber insurance requirements?
Training can support an organisation’s wider evidence of security governance, but insurer requirements vary. Buyers should check the exact wording of their policy or proposal form and retain attendance records alongside evidence of technical controls such as MFA, backups, patching and endpoint protection.
