User Education & awareness Training
Cyber Security User education
& awareness training
Over 50% of all cyber security breaches are caused by human error, yet less than a third of businesses report their staff have undergone any formal cyber security awareness training.
For any business to be truly prepared for a cyber security breach, they need to adopt a proactive cyber defence strategy. Going beyond Artificial Intelligence and anti-virus software, a wholly robust cyber security strategy incorporates cyber security awareness training.

User Risks
Understanding user security risks
Risky personal devices
Without clear security policies around the use of company data and personally owned devices, staff may connect their own devices to your network, which could lead to the inadvertent import of malware or compromise sensitive information.
Inefficient reporting
Without a robust cyber security culture and formal reporting process, you are unable to uncover potential issues or report genuine incidents.
Legal Risk
If your workforce is not supported and trained effectively, especially around how they handle particular types of sensitive information, could leave you open to legal action.
open to external attack
Your users are the primary focus for external attackers. Attacks such as phishing or social engineering rely on taking advantage of legitimate user capabilities and, in turn, can gain access rights.
open to insider threat
Without the right processes in place, employees hold a lot of power. Dissatisfied employees can easily abuse their system level privileges or coerce other employees to gain access to information or systems to which they themselves are not authorised.
key benefits

gain An additional layer of protection
Our Staff Cyber Awareness (SCA) course provides your whole workforce with the knowledge required to prevent and detect.
Maximise Impact

Gain support from stakeholders
Building a robust cyber security culture has to start at the top, and with our Executive Cyber Fundamentals (ECF) course you can ensure security is a priority for all of your leadership team.
accessible information
A lot of information available via a search engine is written with technicalities in mind, which isn’t suitable to your everyday employee. So, instead of talking tech, our GCHQ-certified trainers will keep the course high level and present in an accessible language.

Our Courses
At Stripe OLT, we understand there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, and when it comes to education, we believe different user groups require different forms of cyber security awareness and training. From interactive group sessions to tailored Stakeholder workshops, our courses focus on specific areas of business risk and how to mitigate these appropriately.
As GCHQ-certified trainers, we provide two types of training: Staff Cyber Awareness (SCA) and Executive Cyber Fundamentals (ECF). Through these two essential courses, we aim to provide your people with the information they need to become your business’s first line of cyber defence.
Staff Cyber Awareness (SCA)
Staff Cyber Awareness
In this course, we focus on the cyber risks to the individual and their role within the business. Hackers are becoming increasingly aware of how businesses operate and what they need to do to gain the attention and trust of an employee. Focusing on the technicalities behind social engineering, we look at the following areas:
- Phishing emails & campaigns: What they are, how they work and what to do if you receive one.
- Introduction to Malware: We’ll take you through a live WannaCry demonstration to show you exactly how the hackers operate.
- The importance of account hygiene: Why you need to keep your systems up to date and your passwords strong.
- Remote Working and the Risks: Focusing on wireless device security and the necessity of a closed Wi-Fi network.
- System Management and Maintenance: We’ll demonstrate how hackers can gain your information and why they sell it on the Dark Web.
Executive Cyber Fundamentals (ECF)
Executive Cyber Fundamentals (ECF)
The Executive Cyber Fundamentals (ECF) course covers one full day of training, where selected delegates will gain a relevant and up-to-date understanding of the current threat landscape and how to mitigate cyber security risks to their business. This interactive security training day is comprised of the following syllabus:
- Cyber Security Essentials: Immediate risks to your organisation, common attack vectors and principle security controls.
- Spear Phishing emails & campaigns: What they are, how they differ to phishing attacks and what to do if you receive one.
- Introduction to Malware: We’ll take you through a live WannaCry demonstration to show you exactly how the hackers operate.
- The importance of account hygiene: Why you need to keep your employee systems up to date and the importance of multi-factor authentication.
- What is Social Engineering: How the hackers use your employees to gain internal information and credentials and demonstration.
- Remote Working and the Risks: We’ll cover the technicalities behind VPNs and when to use them, how to utilise Office 365 applications for device security, and the necessity of a closed Wi-Fi network.
