Cybersecurity is no longer limited to firewalls and antivirus software. Cybercriminals target employees first and foremost, as they are considered to be the easiest point of entry. According to ANSSI, over 80% of successful attacks are linked to human error. A careless click on a fraudulent link, a weak password or the transfer of sensitive information can be enough to compromise an entire organization.
Employee training and awareness-raising is therefore not an option: it is a central element of defense strategy, alongside technological solutions.
The benefits of successful awareness-raising
1. Concrete risk reduction
A trained team knows how to recognize phishing attempts, adopt strong passwords or report suspicious behavior. An IBM study (2023) shows that a company that invests in training nearly halves the average cost of a data breach.
2. Create a culture of cybersecurity
Awareness-raising goes beyond technical rules: it’s about instilling collective reflexes. Locking one’s session, avoiding unsecured media, or alerting immediately in case of doubt become natural gestures. This shared culture transforms every employee into a key player in protection.
3. Strengthen ecosystem confidence
An organization where security is shared inspires confidence in its customers and partners. In sensitive sectors such as healthcare, finance and industry, this rigor has even become a selection criterion.
4. Reduced operational impact in the event of an incident
Trained employees react more quickly and in a coordinated way, limiting the consequences of a cyber attack.
How to deploy an effective awareness campaign?
- Diversify formats: hands-on workshops, e-learning, real-life situations or phishing simulations enable us to reach different profiles.
- Maintain regularity: an annual reminder is not enough; threats evolve too quickly. Integrating short, frequent messages into company life ensures lasting reflexes.
- Involve management: managers must set an example. A manager who applies and promotes best practices lends credibility to the message.
- Measuring impact: training participation rates, phishing test results, speed of reporting… all indicators for adjusting and improving the system.
