Here at Lucid we work tirelessly to make sure your network is as secure as possible; we do this with a layered defence approach and make it as difficult as possible for cybercriminals to get a foothold in your network. One of the biggest challenges for organisations is cyber criminals exploiting the people working within the organisation. Lucid Secure has been designed to close this security gap and develop your team's cyber security awareness and reduce your human cyber risk.
We identify weaknesses in a number of key areas.
Can your staff recognise a data breach or possible cyber attack?
How many of your staff have been caught up in a data breach?
Would your staff know how to deal with a Phishing email, or be able to spot one?
Are your staff trained in basic Cyber Security awareness?
The First Step – Reporting
Lucidsecure can provide a report to show who, when and what was breached and going forward you be notified when your users are exposed to a data breach. With continuous monitoring and employee micro-training, your staff would be educated, so that further breaches should not occur.
The Second Step – Send a simulated Phishing email to your employees
Phishing emails remain one of the most common sources of successful cyber-attacks and employees continue to show that they are still the easiest point of entry.
But how can your business combat this threat?
Simulated phishing tests provide you with an invaluable insight into how vulnerable your users are, whilst offering employees a first-hand look at how phishing attacks and social engineering work to try and attack your systems.
Why Phish your own pond?
"Simulated phishing is just as vital as implementing antivirus and firewalls. It's an invaluable Cyber Security process that helps patch your last line of defence."
Where should you start?
Assess how vulnerable your users are to an inevitable Phishing scam and increase awareness around social engineering.
Decrease the chance of Baseline where phishing education is most needed.
Lucidsecure can send a simulated phishing email once a month to all employees, to see if they spot it. The ones that do not spot the email, or need some extra help, will be put onto training courses to continuously educate for further, potential attacks.
The email is custom designed and can be from a customer, supplier or government body etc.
The Third Step - Results and Training
Based upon the results of the simulated Phishing emails, we would build an individual training plan of online courses, targeting areas where that user proved to be weak. These ongoing IT Security Awareness, Training Sessions are provided initially on a monthly basis, (Can be more frequent).
We would track the results of the training and report back. We are constantly updating and adding to our training modules.
Last Step – Policies
There is a policy section where ISO 27001 compliant email policies are available for your use, or you are able to upload your own, keep them up to date and digital deliver policies for users to review, sign and track. This will provide valuable help for anyone who deals with the public sector.
We are offering a 14 day free trail with no obligations.
For only £3.00 a month per employee you will receive:
1 initial report
1 Simulated phishing email
2 training sessions
Access to all policies within the portal
No contract you can do monthly, quarterly – as much or as little as you would like
