NEW YORK, NY — An employee in finance may deal with payment information all day. Someone in HR handles personal records. A salesperson spends plenty of time opening messages and sharing documents with people outside the company.

They all use technology. Their security concerns aren't necessarily the same.

CompCiti says this is one reason organisations may need to look beyond a single cybersecurity course delivered to everyone in exactly the same way.

Its CyberAware Security platform divides awareness training into different levels according to employee responsibilities. The platform combines security awareness education with tools such as phishing simulations, policy management, risk assessment and reporting, giving organisations several ways to make security training part of everyday work.

“Someone working in accounting and someone working in sales can both receive a suspicious email, but the situation around that email may be very different,” said a CompCiti spokesperson. “We don't think employees need to become cybersecurity experts. They do need training that makes sense for the work sitting in front of them. If the examples feel completely unrelated to their day, people switch off. It happens.”

The platform's phishing simulation tools give organisations a way to test how employees respond to simulated threats, while its Phishing Reporter allows suspicious messages to be flagged from within the user's normal email environment. CyberAware Security also includes policy management features for distributing and updating security policies across departments.

That approach changes the conversation slightly. Training becomes something employees can encounter, practise and respond to, rather than a course that is simply completed and forgotten.

CompCiti offers CyberAware Security through packages including PhishMe, TrainMe and ProtectMe. Depending on the package, features include phishing campaigns, learning management, dashboards, gamified training, certificates, 2FA, SSO and client support. The wider CompCiti cybersecurity portfolio also includes assessments, vulnerability testing, incident management and monitoring.
