For financial services organisations, security is of the utmost importance. However, even with the most advanced technical safeguards in place, the human factor remains the most significant vulnerability for companies. In fact, 95% of all cyber attacks worldwide are caused by human error*.
Beyond safeguarding your assets, there are also unique insurance implications financial organisations must consider. APRA-regulated entities are expected to have training and information security awareness programs in place to educate personnel (staff, contractors, and third parties) on information security practices, policies, and expectations.
Layer 8 are the Australian experts in human risk management for cyber security. We solve the problem of cybersecurity behavioural risks by providing a variety of tried and tested cyber awareness solutions that educate staff in an immersive and targeted manner. Our approach focuses on the behaviours, attitudes, culture and knowledge (BACKs) needed to secure your organisation and mitigate risk by ensuring the key messages are gained and retained by your team long into the future.
We are a long-standing provider of cyber awareness training in Australia, and our approach to training and educating your staff is the critical differentiator in our cyber security solutions. Our immersive training programs are scientifically proven to increase knowledge retention compared to traditional training courses. Ensuring the essential security learnings around cyber best practices are gained and retained by staff is key to driving behavioural and team culture changes that are instilled long-term into your organisation’s culture.
