Reduce the risk of a cyber-attack by building a healthy security culture

Did you know that 74% of all cybersecurity breaches include a human element, be it stolen credentials or social engineering? To mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack, organizations should educate employees about possible threats and how to recognize and report them. This DNV Cyber report explains why a Cybersecurity Awareness Program is vital to an organization and presents the cornerstones to ensuring its success.

Help your staff to navigate the world of cyber risk

Many organizations erroneously believe that they are safe behind their firewalls – and that it is enough to invest in technical solutions. Cybersecurity awareness and culture must also be strengthened to ensure overall business resilience.

DNV Cyber awareness expertise covers all stages, from current state analysis to planning and implementing professional cybersecurity awareness programmes for organizations operating in a variety of business sectors.

Every organization and culture is unique, and one size does not fit all. Strengthening your cybersecurity culture requires a tailored approach. To do this, we must first understand the existing culture and needs of your organization. What is the cybersecurity maturity level? What is your appetite for risk? Based on this understanding, we then tailor a security awareness program and annual plan that covers everything from prevention to recovery strategies.

The implementation is result-oriented and measurable, enabling ongoing development. This requires a combination of long-term planning and short-term agility, being comfortable with uncertainty and overcoming resistance to change. When done right this can enhance operations not just by strengthening cybersecurity but also by improving interaction across different organizational business areas and between contributing disciplines.

We employ a wide range of tools, including gamification and simulations, to support awareness. We provide awareness services in many industries, including manufacturing, energy, security-critical state administration, online service providers, financial services, and telecoms.
