ESET, a global cybersecurity solutions provider, has launched ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training in Singapore. This online resource is designed to educate, test, and improve the cyber resilience of employees.
With
this offering, ESET responds to one of the main problems for business
owners — low cybersecurity skills among employees that can lead to costly breaches and reputation losses. At the same time, ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training helps
organisations meet compliance and insurance requirements. According to
ESET, 68% of breaches involve a human element, social engineering or an
error, while employee education is the No. 1 factor that reduces the
cost of a breach.
The launch comes at a critical time as
Singapore’s critical infrastructure continues to face persistent threats
from advanced attacks that could lead to operational disruptions,
economic losses, and loss of trust in Singapore’s digital ecosystem.
With higher incidence of business email compromise (BEC) attacks reported by small and medium-sized businesses (SMB)
than regional peers, it is becoming increasingly essential for
businesses here to bolster their cybersecurity posture to defend against
the expanding threat landscape, ESET stated.
“At ESET, we
believe that building a cyber resilient organisation starts with
well-informed employees,” said Parvinder Walia, President of the Asia
Pacific region at ESET.
“Our Cybersecurity Awareness Training is
designed to change behavior through interactive content, gamification,
and real-world cybersecurity insights. Backed by over 30 years of
research and hands-on training expertise, it equips employees at every
level with the knowledge they need to stay secure.”
Businesses
can reinforce the training using realistic phishing attack simulations
via a phishing simulator. This tool helps organisations test their
employees with an unlimited number of phishing tests using hundreds of
regularly-updated templates, or create their own simulation. Employees
can thus be tested on real-world scenarios while companies can adjust
their training plans based on the results.
Key features of ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training include:
- Interactive training: Uses gamification and real-world scenarios to make learning engaging and impactful.
- Phishing simulation: Allows deployment of realistic phishing campaigns using prebuilt or custom templates.
- Smart reporting and compliance: Real-time tracking, dashboards, and detailed reports to monitor progress and meet compliance needs.
- Regulatory alignment: Supports requirements such as Cyber Essentials Mark, GDPR, PCI DSS, and NIS2.
An
easy-to-use dashboard gives IT admins an overview of available courses,
statistics about employees’ training progress, and phishing campaign
simulation results. Admins can also organise employees in customisable
groups so they can prepare campaigns and training enrollments tailored
to the needs of both employees and their superiors.
ESET has also reduced all necessary IT administration duties typically associated with employees’ training to a minimum. The deployment is easy and seamless thanks to deep integrations with many popular third-party, cloud-based services, and a full API. Whether employees are using learning management systems (LMS), single sign-on (SSO), customer relationship management systems (CRMS), or human resource information systems (HRIS), ESET can sync with businesses’ existing workflows.
All these
features follow the ESET commitment to a prevention-first strategy that
minimises the attack surface and reduces the complexity of
cyberdefence. ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training covers most human-related attack vectors, and its smooth deployment and management help to keep cybersecurity simple.
