Recently, the company took part in the Cybersecurity SME project promoted by the Turin Chamber of Commerce, making free use of the CEI – Cyber Exposure Index – service, an initial assessment tool useful for stimulating appropriate strategies for monitoring and controlling the IT infrastructure. The report highlighted a significant risk level, revealing the need to deepen cybersecurity knowledge through targeted training.
Solution Description
Based on the company’s stated needs, a foundational cybersecurity training course was organized.
The course provides a comprehensive overview of current cyber threats and best practices to protect businesses. Its primary objective is to equip participants with a solid understanding of cyber risks and the most effective defensive strategies. It also aims to raise management’s awareness of organizational vulnerabilities, providing the skills needed to address them.
For the client company, a comprehensive vulnerability assessment of both the internal and external perimeter was carried out, accompanied by a simulated phishing campaign targeting the entire organization. The goal was to evaluate the current risk level (AS-IS), considering both technological assets and the human factor. At the end of the simulation, all staff had access to short training video tutorials designed to raise awareness and provide best practices on how to recognize and effectively counter cyber threats.
Results and Benefits
At the end of the course, participants understood the fundamental concepts of cybersecurity and learned how to assess specific threats. They acquired practical knowledge to effectively apply best practices, recognize cyberattacks, and respond appropriately, thereby improving the organization’s overall security.
Upon completion of the vulnerability assessment and phishing campaign activities, the client was provided with an operational strategic roadmap report for the implementation of technologies and processes to effectively improve the organization’s cybersecurity posture.
