Information Security Training

Information security awareness training — also called cybersecurity training — educates employees on the threats they may face (phishing, social engineering, malware, data breaches) and the secure practices required to protect organisational systems and data.

The human element is the most common vector for security breaches. Studies consistently show that over 90% of cyberattacks begin with human error — a clicked phishing link, a weak password, or an unprotected device. Training is therefore a critical risk mitigation layer alongside technical controls.

Effective information security training must be scenario-based and regularly refreshed. Phishing simulations, where employees receive realistic test emails and receive immediate feedback if they click, are one of the most effective interventions — combining training with direct behavioural feedback.

Aktrea's information security awareness programme covers data protection fundamentals, phishing identification, password security, device management, and incident reporting — available in eLearning and workshop formats, with LMS tracking for compliance records.
