The human firewall is the first and most important line of defence in the fight against cyberattacks. With the DriveLock Human Risk & Awareness solution, DriveLock is expanding its portfolio with an additional solution to strengthen the security awareness of employees.
INHALT |
When we think of cyberattacks, the image of anonymous hackers who use sophisticated methods to gain access to a system and compromise it often comes to mind. Behind these attacks are often criminal organisations that specifically exploit the biggest weakness in the IT security architecture - people themselves.
A quick click can often be the trigger for a devastating attack. This is why the human factor is considered to be the most essential, but also the most vulnerable element of a comprehensive security concept.
Employees are the first and most important line of defence against cyberattacks. If they develop a keen awareness of possible attack scenarios, they can respond appropriately and thus make a significant contribution to the security of the company.
Cyber criminals often use explosive situations, such as recent pandemics or wars, to target people exactly where they are vulnerable: in their emotions. For this reason, attacks using spear phishing or CEO fraud (fake emails purporting to be from the management) work particularly well.
This makes it all the more important to continuously educate employees about these methods and sensitise them to security risks.
With DriveLock Human Risk & Awareness, you first identify the security awareness level in a targeted manner and thus also a potential threat to departments, roles, teams or individuals. Based on this, you can optimise your training measures accordingly. After all, building security awareness is essential for strengthening the ‘human firewall’. With the knowledge gained, you can find suitable target groups and occasions for training and determine a sensible frequency for these.
It is also possible to document the measures in the context of security requirements such as GDPR, ISO 27001/2 and others.
DriveLock Human Risk & Awareness includes effective measures to prevent human error. This is what our solutions have to offer:
1 |
Identification The rapid and targeted identification of departments, roles, teams and individuals at risk. |
2 |
Creation of reports The creation of reports on compliance with important security controls such as GDPR, PCI, HIPAA, SOX, ISO 27001/2, FISMA, CCPA, NERC as well as NIST, NIS2, CIS and SANS. |
3 |
Raising awareness Training employees to identify potential risks and improve their behaviour in relation to safety risks. |
4 |
Increased time and efficiency Saving time and resources through automation to provide security managers with an overview and help them select targeted training courses. |
DriveLock Human Risk & Awareness records and analyses the cybersecurity knowledge and security behaviour of your employees in order to initiate targeted training measures. The detailed risk analysis allows you to identify weaknesses and potential for improvement more quickly and effectively.
In addition, real-time monitoring of training programmes, attendance and results enables ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of security awareness measures.
Integration into personnel management systems facilitates the administration and tracking of training courses.
