Importance of Training
Why Cyber Security Training is Crucial for employees in Ireland?
In our digital age, awareness of online security practices is more important than ever in order to avoid cyber threats and phishing attacks and mitigate the risk of data breaches.
Technology has become a fundamental part of modern life that we all rely on both at home and at work. So, it’s essential for your staff to be aware of the latest updates in cyber security awareness.
Increasing Threats in a Digital World
With so much information shared online, the threat of data breaches and phishing attacks is everywhere. Scams are becoming increasingly harder to spot, so it’s important for your staff, especially those working online, to be aware of any threats as early as possible.
Hybrid and Remote Work Security Risks
The move to hybrid and remote working in recent years has led to an even greater dependence on technology in the workplace to facilitate effective communication between employees.
This means more sensitive information is shared online. Thus, ensuring employees are well-trained in practices such as creating strong passwords and avoiding sending sensitive data publically is more important than ever.
Economic and Geopolitical Impact on Cyber Security
Besides our increased reliance on online working, current global economic and geopolitical disruption has led to us becoming more susceptible than ever to the growing threat of cyber crime.
Statistics on Cyber Attacks in Ireland
As new security threats emerge every day, businesses need to be strategic and proactive in their approach to cyber security.
Recent government statistics reveal that a staggering 1 in 5 Irish firms experienced a cyber attack or data breach in 2022*.

Strategic and Proactive Approaches to Cyber Security
Recovering from a cyber attack can be difficult and costly, so our cyber security course aims to make your employees subject matter experts to avoid these attacks from the outset. Consequently, encouraging a proactive approach that helps mitigate potential attacks.
Who Needs Cyber Security Training?
Cyber Security affects every individual within your organisation
While many assume cyber security is the sole responsibility of IT or digital departments, it’s important to remember that it affects every individual within your organisation.
Not Just for IT Departments
Many may assume cyber security is the sole responsibility of IT or digital departments. However, it’s important to acknowledge the very real human risk and remember that it affects every individual within your organisation.
Training for All Employees
With most individuals working online in some capacity, everyone has a responsibility to ensure the organisation remains cyber secure.
Our cyber security awareness training for employees in Ireland provides comprehensive training for every employee in your company.
Importance of Day One Training
Advice from cyber security experts is that cyber security training is completed on day one of employment and then refreshed regularly to ensure all staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities in protecting your organisation and themselves from cyber attacks.
Regular Refresher Courses
Cyber security awareness training doesn’t begin and end on day one. Criminals are continually creating new and increasingly clever scams.
So, our cyber security training course includes regular refresher courses and modules to ensure you and your employees are up-to-date with the latest threats and laws.
Human Error and Data Breaches
According to Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74% of all data breaches can be traced back to human error. While mistakes can happen, ensuring that every individual is aware of the latest best practices will help minimise this risk.
