Cyber attacks continue to grow in volume and evolve in sophistication. Flexible workforces and increased reliance on cloud-based apps and data only add more entry points for today’s hackers to target.
With the cost of cyber attacks on Aussie businesses exceeding $33 billion last year, it is something no business can afford to ignore.
While this is an increasingly complex problem, the answer for mitigating most of these risks is simple: employee cyber awareness. This can be done with cyber security awareness training. Researchers at Stanford University recently found that 88% of all breaches are directly caused by human error, and employees are consistently the most targeted and breached aspect in the digital world.
Layer 8 Security has been an Australian-owned and grown Cyber Security institution since 2011. We have successfully guided thousands of Australians through our world-class cyber awareness programs and converted them into their organisation’s first line of defence against escalating risks, empowering them to act as a human firewall rather than cyber vulnerabilities.
Our approach to training and educating your staff is the critical differentiator in our security solutions. We deploy a strategy called BACKS (Behaviour, Attitude, Culture and Knowledge) ensuring targeted security learnings around cyber best practices are gained and retained by staff and ensuring that behaviours and team culture are instilled long-term across your organisation.
For effective Human Risk Management, you need to know where you stand and providing a cyber baseline of your staff across your organisation is a crucial focal point for the Layer 8 team.
Layer 8 provides you with an understanding of your staff’s security awareness and capabilities by utilising their BACKS strategy (Behaviour, Attitude, Culture and Knowledge). By assessing all four of these areas concerning cyber security, Layer 8 can comprehensively identify their strengths, weaknesses enabling them to target specific areas with specific staff members to make the most impact across your organisation.
We offer three alternative options for practical cyber security baseline analysis and subsequent training to suit any organisation’s size, availability and budget. These offerings will provide you with Layer 8 Cyber Awareness Certification Level 2 when coupled with Cyber Escape Room or additional awareness training programs.

Once your baseline has been established and initial awareness program deployed, we provide various additional services to equip your organisation now and into the future to remain secure and eliminate the potential for a breach or attack. For specific outcomes to broaden your organisational cyber maturity and reinforce vital learnings, we encourage these additional services to fortify your team from cyber threats and reach a Layer 8 Cyber Awareness Level 3 certification.
Convert staff into cyber heroes and cultivate a security mindset and culture that prioritises the protection of your organisation’s data. We provide 12 month standalone comprehensive learning programs that incorporate all cyber awareness modules.
Active participation is the key for an enhanced learning experience and knowledge retention for your team while providing an enjoyable
experience.
Understand your people, what they know, their attitude and behaviour towards security to assess the maturity and success of training.
Compromised accounts are the root cause of many breaches. Understanding the risk, the process and the steps users can take to safeguard their credentials is critical.
Targeting staff, social engineering and phishing attacks can truly only be prevented with a program that accurately measures and tests your team.
Understanding how staff have previously behaved when presented with a security incident, allows us to better understand their behavioural and attitudinal characteristics.
How do your team manage passwords? What makes a good password? What is the policy? Educating people on the best way to create a password to safeguard not only work but their personal information to ensure they are adequately protected.
Understanding the security risks to your assets in the physical world is often overlooked. Taking stock of the security measures around the physical location of your people, assets and data and ensuring they’re adequately secured is paramount for every organisation.
Reinforcing the messages taught during the education phase increase staff knowledge retention and helps to encourage a culture of security.
