Human factor (what employees do or don't do) is the biggest threat to information systems and assets. Cyber-attacks and breaches in data security and IT security happen every day. Many presume that software gaps or technology mistakes wholly contribute to these attacks, but in reality, human mistakes contribute about 31% of these cyber breaches.

Building a systematic tailor-made Human Firewall with advance technology is most effective way to protect from phishing attacks and cyber breaches. Human firewall can be defined as the personal or sentimental aspect of guarding one’s network. Human firewalls centre on security awareness training at every organisational level. This systematic security awareness training will teach humans to be super sensitive to vulnerabilities they are able to pinpoint and take necessary steps to alleviate or minimise risks which automated systems cannot control.

This is an interactive anti-phishing workshop that helps you understand how phishing attacks work, the tactics that cyber criminals employ, how to spot and avoid a potential attack and most importantly you’ll be improve yourself and less vulnerable to phishing attacks.
