New Holiday Resources for Your Security Awareness Training

The holiday season is just around the corner, and with it comes an increase in cyber threats. From Black Friday deals to Christmas to New Year promotions, cybercriminals are always ready to exploit the festive rush. Staying ahead of these risks requires a proactive approach, especially as businesses face an increase in phishing scams and online fraud.

For subscribers to our Security Awareness Training subscription, we can now deploy holiday-themed phishing simulation templates to educate your employees on avoiding seasonal scams.

They can also view the new e-learning course that teaches users to recognise online shopping scams.

 

 

Holiday-Themed Phishing Simulation Templates

Get your teams ready for holiday-specific phishing attacks with our new, engaging simulation templates. These templates mimic real holiday scams and are perfect for testing and improving cybersecurity awareness.

Here’s what’s included:

  • New Year’s Luxury Mattress Sale
  • November Holiday PTO Hours Request Rejected
  • December Holiday PTO Hours Request Rejection
  • Christmas Templates

Each email has its own matching landing page, which tempts your employees to enter their usernames and passwords.

These holiday phishing simulations are realistic and designed to help your employees recognise and avoid scams.

What is Security Awareness Training Anyway?

If you don’t have it already, now is the time to get started!

Cyber threats are escalating – almost doubling just this year and protecting your business is becoming more and more about keeping your employees vigilant. We are committed to making sure you have the tools you need to navigate the ever-changing online landscape. That’s why we’ve developed our Security Awareness Training program, specifically designed for our clients.

Most cybersecurity breaches occur due to a lapse in judgment by staff. uSecure is a game changer that empowers your employees to recognise and combat security threats effectively. By subscribing, you’ll provide your team with engaging, interactive training that covers critical topics, from recognising phishing attempts to implementing robust password practices.

Here’s why uSecure should be your go-to training solution:

  1. Realistic Training Scenarios: Employees will confront real-world simulations that prepare them for genuine cyber threats, ensuring they’re ready to decide for themselves whether an email is genuine or not.
  2. On-Demand Flexibility: With our user-friendly, on-demand modules, your staff can learn at their convenience, seamlessly integrating their training into busy schedules without sacrificing productivity.
  3. Up-to-Date Content: As cyber threats evolve, so does our software. We continually refresh the training materials, keeping your team informed about the latest risks strategies.
  4. Insightful Reporting: Track your team’s progress and overall effectiveness with in-depth metrics, allowing you to pinpoint strengths and areas for further development.

Best of all, the system is automatic – you don’t have to manage it because WE do. You staff will become more educated automatically over time – just by being exposed to the ‘fake’ scams and the following educational videos.
