> Cyber security awareness training and phishing simulation for employees. Short, practical sessions that help staff spot threats.

Canonical: https://cybersecuritylondon.com/security-awareness-training


Most attacks start with a person, not a server. Short, relevant training and realistic phishing simulations help your team recognise threats and know exactly what to do.

Covers: Employee training, Phishing simulation, Leadership briefings, Reporting habits.

## Overview

A convincing email on a busy afternoon is still the easiest way into most businesses. Technology helps, but people make the final decision.

Our training is short, practical and based on the threats your business actually sees. Phishing simulations then show where extra support is needed, without naming and shaming.

### A good fit if

- Staff have never had security training
- You have had a phishing or payment fraud incident
- Insurers or clients ask about staff training
- You want a culture where people report, not hide, mistakes

## Frequently asked questions

### What is security awareness training?

It is training that helps employees recognise cyber threats such as phishing, weak passwords and payment fraud, and know what to do when they see them.

### What is a phishing simulation?

A safe, realistic test email sent to staff. If someone clicks, they see a short explanation of the warning signs they missed. It builds habits without real risk.

### How often should staff be trained?

Everyone should have training when they join and at least once a year, with regular phishing simulations in between.

### Will this embarrass staff who click?

No. Results are used to target support, not to blame. The aim is a culture where people report mistakes quickly.
