Cyber security awareness

More than 90% of cyber-attacks target employees, with many incidents succeeding because of human error. Helping your workforce understand and recognise the seriousness of cyber security threats is essential for any organisation handling confidential or personal information. With ANSA IT Cyber Security Awareness, businesses can reduce employee-related security risks and strengthen their overall cyber security posture through engaging online training, practical education and realistic phishing simulations designed to build lasting awareness and safer everyday online behaviour.

What is Cyber Security Awareness?

ANSA IT delivers fully managed Cyber Security Awareness services designed to strengthen your security posture by reducing human risk. Trusted by businesses, our tailored and fully managed approach helps improve protection while remaining far more cost-effective than dealing with the consequences of a successful cyber attack.

We provide fully managed Security Awareness Training and Testing that helps prevent employees from causing security incidents through a practical, proven process designed to build stronger security habits across your entire workforce.

Your employees are central to your business, supporting the daily operations that help your organisation succeed. However, they can also represent one of your greatest cyber risks and remain a primary target for cybercriminals.

Helping your staff understand today’s cyber threats, giving them the knowledge to recognise and prevent potential risks, and maintaining continuous awareness of cybercrime are essential for creating a resilient security posture and protecting your organisation from data breaches, financial losses, operational disruption, and serious damage to your business reputation.

Cyber security awareness for employees

ANSA IT cyber security awareness training equips your employees with the knowledge needed to defend your business network against targeted cyber-attacks. By actively reducing risks through stronger cyber security awareness and practical best practices across your organisation, you gain a more cyber-confident workforce and customers who feel confident trusting you with their personal information safely.

GDPR & information assurance awareness

Protecting personal information is essential for any organisation handling customer data. ANSA IT GDPR awareness training helps employees understand their responsibilities, supporting compliance with data protection legislation while reassuring customers that their information is managed carefully. Through regular online GDPR training, your workforce can maintain strong information assurance awareness and help reduce the likelihood of data breaches. In addition, educating staff about GDPR is strongly recommended by the ICO and can support your organisation’s wider compliance efforts and accreditation requirements with greater confidence and consistency.

Phishing cyber awareness and protection

Phishing attacks are an increasing concern for businesses and remain one of the most common methods cybercriminals use to bypass security defences. Cyber security awareness provides a strong first line of protection against phishing, and when combined with dedicated email security, it can further strengthen your organisation’s cyber security posture. ANSA IT adds advanced spam filtering to your mail server, helping reduce the volume of unwanted and potentially dangerous emails reaching employees. The service also includes a phishing alert button within your mail client, allowing staff to report suspicious messages while improving phishing awareness and encouraging safer email practices across your entire organisation.

Dark web monitoring

Cyber security awareness and dark web monitoring work together to reduce the risk of compromised business credentials by identifying when corporate domain information appears on the dark web. Stolen credentials may come from multiple sources, including fake websites, accidental exposure and breached data. ANSA IT dark web monitoring helps detect, report, monitor and remediate cyber security threats, while providing ongoing support and timely alerts that keep your business informed about potential risks affecting the security of your network today.

Monthly vulnerability scanning

Vulnerability scanning is often treated as an annual exercise designed to identify and reduce risks affecting your business networks and sensitive data. ANSA IT takes vulnerability scanning further, recognising that a yearly assessment can quickly become outdated once completed. With monthly vulnerability scanning, threats, exposed ports and security weaknesses are reviewed regularly, helping identify and address network vulnerabilities before they develop into serious problems that could impact your organisation, operations, customers, and overall security posture in the future.
