You will notice that we call it Awehness training purposefully sending out greetings of Respect Love and Gratitude. We practise physical distancing by standing two meters apart with palms pressed together or hands folded together omitting a feeling of Love Respect and Gratitude and sometimes with a touch of humour proclaiming “AWEH”

John Chambers Chairman CISCO: “There are two equalisers in life: the INTERNET and EDUCATION”
It is an unequivocal fact that we will be working more and more remotely.
It is also an undisputable fact that cyber criminals are exploiting this sudden vulnerability.
FACT: We are not prepared for the hack.
“There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that don’t know they’ve been hacked” John Chambers Chairman CISCO
FACT: Cyber security makes your business more secure.
Making your whole team aware of the threats that exist will keep them from making mistakes that could threaten the safety of your organisation.
You may be hesitant and say AFTER ALL ISN’T DOING SO WITH YOUR IT TEAM SUFFICIENT or MY CYBER SECURITY IS SUFFICIENT
As it turns out, it isn’t, its proven that human error is the biggest threat to cyber security, and this can come from any corner of your organisation.
The South African Reserve Bank highlights that Cyber-attacks could have direct material consequences through financial losses, as well as indirect costs, such as reputational impact.
The Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPI) establishes the minimum requirements which businesses must comply with when processing personal information and that third parties be notified as soon as possible if there is a privacy breach, so that they can take precautions.
MONEY SAVED:
Cybersecurity Awehness training for your team is also a wise investment.
It is estimated that data breaches and similar attacks like ransomware costs companies billions of Rands or Dollars each year.
Cybercrime is increasing at an alarming rate across the world and has become one of the biggest threats faced by companies, and individuals as the spread of digital technology and connectivity makes every form of human activity vulnerable to attack.
Global research company Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that the damages from cybercrime may cost the world $6tr a year by 2021, up from $3tr in 2015.
The cost of excellent cyber security training is well worth it if it prevents even a single attack.
The time spent plugging holes and repairing damage could be better spent conducting other functions of business and by empowering them to act with confidence and Awehness they’ll LESS likely ponder over, or click on suspicious messages, and MORE likely prevent a devastating breach.
More productively achieved by not wasting time debating over issues or waiting for IT to solve simple basic problems.

STOP SOCIAL ENGINEERED MALWARE
Malicious software runs when an employee is tricked into downloading infected files or software.
Downloads results in execution which results in massive ransomware attacks world-wide.
Recently A high-profile York law firm Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks, P.C. has been targeted by hackers who are demanding a $42 million ransom. The hackers said they’ll release more of the firm’s documents if the ransom is not paid.
The Law Firm spokesperson said the firm is working with the FBI and they will not pay the ransom.
“The leaking of our clients’ documents is a despicable and illegal attack by these foreign cyber terrorists who make their living attempting to extort high-profile companies, government entities, entertainers, politicians, and others,” the spokesperson said.
This leading prestige’s law firm represents celebrities the likes of Madonna, Elton John, Mike Tyson, Lady Gaga and so many.
Ransomware is an example of malware that has spread through social engineering.

Cybercriminals exploit software that has not been regularly patched to fix bugs and vulnerabilities.
At risk are passwords, banking information, private and personal data, third party details held on your network etc.
STOP SOCIAL MEDIA THREATS
Cybercriminals hijack employee or business social media accounts and use them to share embarrassing information or identify shared passwords that might be used for more sophisticated attacks.
