A person is the weakest link in the organization's information protection chain.

Meanwhile, the error of one employee, even in the small or medium-sized business sector, is very expensive - according to the same study, the average damage from a successful attack for companies in the SBM segment is 4.3 million. rubles

Malicious attacks are becoming successful due to the fact that employees lack knowledge of information security, and businesses need effective means to solve this problem. However, regular trainings are too complex and tedious, as a result of which they do not give results - employees quickly forget the knowledge gained or do not complete the course at all.

The solution allows you to assess the employee's current knowledge in the field of cybersecurity, determine in accordance with this the set of skills that he needs depending on his work duties and risk profile, and schedule the program. For example, ordinary employees only need basic skills, while a manager needs to know how to secure the data of an entire department to work with confidential information.

The product is built taking into account the peculiarities of human memory. During each lesson, which lasts no more than 10 minutes, the emphasis is on key messages several times. The lesson includes an interactive module and videos, as well as exercises for docking and checking (testing or simulating a phishing attack). Fastening exercises are visual tasks that apply to an employee's daily work. The development of skills (and there are more than 350 in total) is based on the principle of "from simple to complex" - that is, until the test is passed, the next stage of the training will not be available. This structure allows you to most effectively remember and, most importantly, use the knowledge gained.
