Even the best technology can’t stop a click made in haste
The recent phishing incidents at M&S and the Co-op were not due to system failure, but human error.
At EVCO, we see this all too often and we believe it highlights a fundamental truth:
Cyber security is as much about people as it is about platforms. Over 90% of breaches start with a phishing email.
Yet, according to a recent UK study, fewer than 40% of employees receive ongoing cyber awareness training.
Even fewer are tested regularly with realistic simulations. The gap is clear, and the risk is growing. We work with organisations to close that gap.
Here’s what we focus on:
- Frequent, role-specific phishing simulations to reflect real-life scenarios
- Bite-sized training that sticks, even in fast-paced environments
- Encouraging a culture of reporting, not blame. Involving leadership so the message comes from the top.
We believe cyber resilience starts with behaviour and that behaviour can be shaped.
EVCO Services helps organisations deliver phishing training that actually works. Training that doesn’t tick boxes, but builds habits.
