The caller sounds harassed and apologetic. They are from IT, they are locked out of an urgent system, and they just need the receptionist to read out a code that has been texted to her phone. Or a smartly dressed visitor with a coffee in each hand waits for someone to hold the door. Most security breaches involve people being helpful, and the people trying to exploit them know it.
Awareness that sticks
Annual online modules are quickly forgotten. Our threat awareness training uses real-world techniques, short demonstrations and conversation to show how attackers think, so staff recognise manipulation when it happens to them rather than only in a quiz.
What we cover
Phishing and pretext calls, including voice and text messages. Tailgating and access abuse. What can be learned about an organisation from social media and a few minutes outside the front door. Safe handling of documents, devices and visitors. And, crucially, how to report a concern without fear of looking foolish.
Tailored to the audience
Receptionists, executive assistants, finance teams, household staff and senior leaders face different risks. We shape each session around the people in the room.
For leaders who need a focused update on current surveillance threats, see threat briefings. To test what attackers could really achieve, see physical penetration testing. Plan a session with us.
