Train Your Employees
Firms with the most secure IT infrastructures and controls are still at risk if their employees fall prey to social engineering.

Employees: the first line of defense
As your firm grows in its connectivity and technological capabilities, so does the frequency and sophistication of social engineering attacks, specifically phishing. The importance of employee awareness within your firm has never been greater. Firms with the most secure IT infrastructures and controls are still at risk if their employees fall prey to social engineering.
Your employees are the first line of defense against breaches.

Training is protecting
Within a cybersecurity training program, it is important that all employees learn to:
Simulated Attacks
Simulated attacks have become a critical part of a cybersecurity training and awareness program. It is important to test employees’ ability to identify these attacks and share the results. Over time, the Firm’s security posture will improve with a continuous cybersecurity training program.
INCIDENT RESPONSE AND TABLETOP EXERCISES
A key component of the Firm’s training program is testing its recovery procedures. There is always a possibility that your firm may face a compromise.

Incident Response Tabletop Exercise (TTX)
An Incident Response Tabletop Exercise (TTX) is a security incident preparedness exercise which takes key stakeholders through the process of dealing with a simulated incident scenario.

Hands-On Training for Employees and Participants
Hands-on training for these participants is conducted to ensure the Firm’s response in the event of a real cybersecurity breach is up to par.

Strategic and Technical Response Review
Both the strategic and technical response are reviewed over the course of multiple scenario simulations based on real world examples in a roundtable environment.
Testing your Incident Response Plan through a Tabletop Exercise with key stakeholders, is essential to avoid confusion or an improper response during an incident.
