Cyber Security Awareness Training
Turn your biggest attack vector into a strength with targeted cyber awareness training that builds secure habits at scale.
Cyber Security Awareness Training for Employees That Reduces Human Risk
Research shows that human error is the leading cause of 68% of security incidents. Structured cyber security awareness training directly addresses this challenge by shifting employee behaviour from reactive to vigilant, and reducing the likelihood of a preventable incident.
Vendor data from Mimecast shows that cyber security awareness training for employees makes a measurable difference. For example, phishing awareness among employees rose from 33% to 81.2%, a gain of 246%. Awareness of inadvertent disclosure risks improved by 421%, and password security knowledge increased by 437%, showing that structured training is effective in boosting employee cyber security awareness.
AVTech's cyber awareness training program builds consistent, organisation-wide security habits. Employees learn to recognise the characteristics of phishing attempts, understand the risks associated with social engineering, and apply safer behaviours across their day-to-day use of business systems. You develop a workforce that actively contributes to your security posture rather than representing a point of vulnerability within it.
Why Awareness Training is a Strategic Imperative
The return on investment leads to lower incident costs, stronger compliance and an organisation that’s more security-conscious overall.
Reduces Human Error & Cyber Incidents
Targeted cyber awareness training lowers phishing click rates and susceptibility to social engineering, addressing the leading cause of security breaches.
Delivers Tangible Cost Savings
Empowered staff are more likely to identify and report suspicious activity early, enabling faster incident containment. As a result, minimising costs linked to incident response, recovery, and downtime while reducing the likelihood of reputational damage.
Builds a Security Aware Culture
Organisations that invest in ongoing cyber awareness training help employees become more aware of the evolving threat landscape. It builds resilience across the organisation and embeds a culture of security awareness.
Strengthens Compliance
The training is structured to align with Australian compliance frameworks, including the Essential Eight. For organisations with regulatory obligations or those undertaking formal security reviews, this alignment supports demonstrable progress against recognised benchmarks.
What Makes Our Cyber Awareness Training Different?
Our staff awareness training sits within a broader cybersecurity capability, allowing organisations to build a layered security strategy rather than relying on any single control.
The features of our awareness training are:
We deliver our cyber security awareness training online in Australia via short video modules that engage employees without disrupting daily operations. Employees can access content across different devices, enabling consistent delivery of modules to remote or distributed teams.
Mimecast data shows that simulated conditions improved employee awareness of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) risks from 28.1% to 86.6% following training, while understanding of insider threat scenarios rose from 17.8% to 62.6%.
We have incorporated realistic phishing simulations into the programs, providing employees with direct, low-risk exposure to real-world attack tactics. Simulations are conducted in controlled environments to build their recognition and confidence. Results feed back into each employee's training pathway, ensuring those who require additional reinforcement receive it.
Our cyber security awareness training includes intelligent human risk scoring, enabling organisations to identify individuals or teams with elevated risk profiles and direct targeted training.
Personalised training pathways ensure that content is relevant to each employee's current level of awareness.
Reporting provides visibility into progress, phishing simulation performance, and aggregate risk across the organisation. It enables IT and security leaders to report meaningfully on the effectiveness of their cyber security staff awareness training program and to demonstrate improvement over time, a key requirement for boards, insurers, and auditors.
The results speak for themselves: structured training saw awareness of shadow IT jump by 202%, while threat reporting surged by 345%. This reflects the deep behavioural change a well-designed program can achieve.
