Overview

Why Security Awareness Matters

Cybercriminals today do not bother with weeks of firewall hacking when they can only get an employee to open an email that appears as though it is from a boss, bank or vendor.

 

Firewalls and email filters can detect known threats, but there are many other ways for breaches to occur, including human error. Routine training can fill in this gap, helping your employees to be more confident in double-checking suspicious messages and alerting IT immediately.

Why IT Matters

Common Risks Solved by Sophos Training

  • Advanced Impersonation & BEC Scams: Emails are created by hackers from trusted suppliers or senior executives and sent for a “quick” bank transfer. Sophos teaches your finance team to catch subtle warning signs before approving fraudulent payments.
  • Credential Theft Pages: Untrained users are deceived by fake logon pages for Microsoft 365 or banking applications. Training can assist users in identifying fake web links and domain names and help to prevent company log-in credentials being compromised.
  • Evolving Threats (QR Codes & Mobile Scams): The attackers often change their tactics by sending out QR codes or links to mobile devices that evade desktop filters. Sophos keeps training material current to ensure that your staff is prepared for new scams.
  • Remote & Hybrid Work Risks: Distributed teams can be deployed without direct IT oversight. Cloud-based training means that all workers are alert and informed, regardless of whether they're at work, at home or on the go.

How the Solution Works

  • Simulate: Launch realistic, harmless test phishing campaigns based on real-world scams (such as fake password resets or courier notifications).
  • Educate: If an employee clicks a test link, they are automatically guided to a quick, interactive lesson explaining what red flags they missed.
  • Analyze: Security teams can monitor progress, view department risk scores, and see reporting practices from a single Sophos Central dashboard.
  • Adapt: Training paths automatically update over time to match new attack methods and address specific user weaknesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Sophos Email Security automatically blocks bad emails before they arrive. Phishing Awareness & Training educates your employees so they know what to do if a sneaky email manages to slip past technical filters.

No - it is safe to run simulations in the background. If a user clicks a test link, he gets a short education tip, which explains the warning signs that were found.

Continuous short training (monthly or quarterly) is far more effective than an annual class. Regular simulations keep security top-of-mind without taking away valuable working time.

Yes. Netmate helps design tailored campaigns for high-risk teams—like Finance, HR, or Executive Leadership focusing on the specific threats those roles face every day.

Yes. Because the platform is entirely cloud-based, employees can complete training modules and participate in simulations from any device, anywhere.
