Security Awareness Training

Empower Your Team. Reduce Risk. Build a Security Culture.

At VITS, we believe your people are your first line of defence. Our security awareness training goes beyond compliance; it builds a cyber‑aware culture. With ongoing, role‑specific learning, phishing simulations, and behavioural reinforcement, we help your team stay alert to evolving threats.

Why Focus on Security Awareness?

Human error drives risk

Over 90% of breaches involve human mistakes, clicking phishing links, weak passwords, misconfigured access, or data mismanagement.

Training cuts phishing risk fast

Regular awareness programmes reduce phishing susceptibility from approx. 32% to under 5% within a year. Trained users click 30% fewer malicious links overall.

High return on investment

Security awareness training delivers immediate value, even low-intensity programmes yield 7× ROI, while average programmes achieve 37× ROI.

Behavioral change, not checkbox compliance

Effective training isn’t just education, it shapes secure behaviour through simulations, reminders, and culture-building measures.

Security Awareness Training FAQs

Security awareness training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to recognise cyber threats, follow best practices, and respond appropriately to suspicious activity. This not only protects company data but also empowers staff to act confidently in a digital environment.

Employees are often the first line of defence against cyberattacks. Training reduces human error, strengthens security culture, and helps organisations comply with regulations and industry standards.

It’s best practice to provide training at least annually, with periodic refresher sessions and updates whenever new threats emerge. Ongoing reinforcement ensures staff remain vigilant and informed.

Yes. Training is scalable and beneficial for organisations of all sizes. SMEs can significantly reduce the risk of cyber incidents by educating staff, even without a large internal security team.
