Cyber Security

Organisation, People and Security Awareness 


Make your team the first line of defence

The Labyrinth of Cyber Threats

Counter sophisticated phishing, deepfakes & AI threats with advanced awareness


Sophisticated new techniques which target humans by exploiting psychological vulnerabilities and the natural tendency to trust make traditional technical defences insufficient on their own.


Our service is designed to transform your workforce into a vigilant and responsive front line of defence against cyber attacks. We provide comprehensive training and engaging workshops tailored to the needs of your organisation.

A New World of threat & response


Sophistication of Threats

Phishing and social engineering attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, making them harder to detect. Attackers use personalised bait, leveraging information available on social media and corporate websites. This sophistication means that training must be as dynamic as the threats themselves.

Pervasiveness of Digital Communication

The digital transformation and the global shift towards remote work have increased reliance on digital communication channels. With more business interactions occurring virtually, the opportunities for cybercriminals to intercept these communications has grown exponentially, making employee training crucial.

Employees as the First Line of Defence

Given the limitations of technological solutions in identifying and stopping all social engineering attacks, employees must act as the first line of defence. By recognising suspicious behaviour, questioning anomalies, and knowing how to respond, they can prevent breaches before they occur.

Deepfakes & AI

The advent of deepfakes and AI technologies has introduced a new dimension to social engineering, allowing attackers to create highly convincing fake audio and video content. This can be used to impersonate trusted figures in an organisation, tricking employees into divulging sensitive information or funds.

Regulatory & Legal Implications

The legal and regulatory landscape around data protection and privacy is becoming stricter, with heavy penalties for breaches. Organisations must ensure that all employees understand the importance of data protection and are equipped to contribute to compliance efforts.

Transforming Awareness into Cyber Resilience

To help strengthen the human firewall, we suggest a mix of activity which can be prioritised according to specific context:


People-Centric Security Programmes: A focus on the human factors in cyber security, including behaviour analysis, motivation for secure practices, and the psychology of social engineering.


Customised Security Awareness Training: Interactive and engaging training sessions that go beyond generic best practices, tailored to the specific threats and scenarios relevant to your organisation.


Leadership and Governance: Guidance for executive leadership and boards on governing cybersecurity efforts, ensuring accountability, and integrating security into corporate governance.


Security Culture Assessments and Transformation: Evaluations of the existing security culture within an organisation, followed by actionable recommendations and transformation programmes.


Metrics and Measurement: Development of metrics to measure the effectiveness of security awareness programmes, tracking improvements in employee behaviour, to continually refine and improve security posture.


Incident Response Preparedness: Tabletop exercises prepare organisations for actual cyber incidents by allowing them to practice their response in a risk-free environment, identify gaps in incident response plans and improve coordination.

"Companies spend millions of dollars on firewalls, encryption, and secure access devices, and it’s money wasted; none of these measures address the weakest link in the security chain."
