Importance of Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Employees


The Human Element in Cyber Security

Although there are precautions employers can take to safeguard their employees and organisations’ data, human error remains one of the leading causes of security breaches. Whether it’s as simple as clicking on a misleading link or mishandling sensitive information, one misstep can cause a security breach.

Benefits of Employee Training

  • Fewer Phishing Incidents: By training your employees on early detection and avoidance of phishing emails, organisations can reduce security breaches and data being compromised. 
  • Improved Threat Reporting: Staff are trained on what to look out for and how to report it, helping reduce the risk of cyber threats. 
  • Greater Compliance: Training employees on regulatory standards such Australian Privacy Act, ACSC Essential Eight and ISO frameworks ensure your organisation remains compliant.

We run a busy clinic in Melbourne and have been using IT Networks' managed cybersecurity services for some time now. The experience has been exceptional. Their team is incredibly hands-on and responsive — always quick to address any issues or provide guidance when needed. What impressed us most is the value: their service is just as thorough and reliable as what you'd expect from a major provider, but at a much more reasonable cost. Highly recommend IT Networks to any business looking for dependable cybersecurity support without the hefty price tag.

Our business engaged IT Networks initially to conduct a Cyber-security Audit. From the first meeting, I was extremely impressed by the attention to detail, focus on understanding the business IT set up and also on our ways of working. This resulted in an excellent outcome, improving our internal IT security. We went on to engage IT Networks as a managed service partner. Through our ongoing engagement, they are adding real value to our business and great support both during business hours and also outside of business hours when needed. Great team, great to work with!

Boutique 3rd party provider for all you IT needs. I have entrusted our business IT needs to IT Networks for nearly 30 years now. They provide pro-active support on a monthly basis avoiding breakdown and failures. I've found this works well on-going rather than wait for problems to occur and then fix. Easily contactable, any problems that may arise are dealt with promptly. They manage domain names, fibre connections and all the various software subscriptions. I would recommend the team at IT Networks.
