A resilient organisation starts with the employee

Cybercriminals are no longer just trying to break through technical walls. They entice your employees to simply open the door for them.

With techniques like Adversary in the Middle and Infostealers, attackers try to hold your organisation hostage with malware. As a security specialist you intercept a lot technically, but your employees are the real key to success.

Awareways translates these threats into an understandable and active approach for your organisation. No dry theory, but positivity and learning by doing in a safe environment.

Get free access for a limited time to the training ‘Ready for Resilience: ready for every threat’ in our Wave learning platform and make your people the ultimate line of defence.

A computer screen and smartphone display Awareways' online Wave learning modules on cybersecurity. The interface shows training sessions on 'Ransomware and the Psychology of the Click,' 'Malware,' and 'Shadow IT,' designed to enhance digital security.

Portrait of Michel Teuwen, CISO at De Heus. He highlights the impact of the Ransomwear campaign, which was implemented within their own organization as part of their security awareness initiative.
“For a broader audience within the organization, this offers an original and unique way to keep security awareness top-of-mind. By 'wearing' security themes, you make them part of the conversation in the workplace. Awareness is the first step toward a conscious behavioral change.”

FAQ

on Ransomware and
Security Awareness Training

Independent research by Forrester shows an average ROI of 276%. For large organizations, this can reach up to 562%. Additionally, robust programs save an average of $1.5 million (€1.4 million) in data breach costs by increasing organizational resilience.

Yes. Wave offers program levels for every maturity stage, from SMEs to global enterprises. We train employees across a wide range of skills necessary for a secure and resilient organizational culture.

Wave provides an integrated approach to digital resilience. In addition to security awareness, we cover themes such as privacy, AI literacy, ethics, and digital skills. We ensure behavioral change by combining training with communication and simulations.

Infostealers often bypass technology through human deception. We train the 'psychology of the click.' By making employees resilient to social engineering through simulations and Nano Learnings, you reduce the chance of them unintentionally opening the door to malware.

Technical barriers are increasingly bypassed by sophisticated manipulation of the human factor. Structured training can reduce the risk of human-driven incidents by as much as 72%. Behavior is the human line of defense where technology ends.

We combine the Awareways Culture Scan (averaging 51% improvement) with operational metrics such as the report/click ratio during simulations. This makes the growth in digital resilience factually measurable and manageable.
