Why is cybersecurity awareness training crucial for businesses?

Could you imagine if you arrived at work today to find out all your critical business data has vanished?  

A lot of businesses need to ask themselves could you survive such crippling downtime or Ransome? Furthermore, with strict industry regulations in place, are your data protection strategies adequate? Not to mention the long-term reputational damage?  How devastating would the loss of customer trust be for your business?  

What do we know about cyber threats? 

Cyber attacks are constant and relentless.   Humans are the weakest link. Studies show that  90% of data breaches involve some form of human error.  

Phishing emails, social engineering tactics, and weak passwords can all trick even the most tech-savvy individuals, leaving the door open for attackers. 

How do you see awareness training contributing to building a more resilient workforce? 

Knowledge is power:  By providing employees with awareness training they gain the knowledge and skills to identify and report suspicious activity,  you empower them to become active participants in your cybersecurity defence. 

When your team knows what phishing looks like, they’re less likely to fall for it. This simple step can significantly reduce your risk of cyberattacks. 

Is training worth the investment? 

Think of it this way: Prevention is cheaper than cure!  

The cost of training is far less than the cost of a breach.

What is DORA? What does it mean for the industry?

The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a European Union (EU) regulation that aims to strengthen the technology security and resiliency of financial services, such as banks, insurance companies and investment firms, including a focus on third-party Information and Communication Technology (ICT) providers.

When does DORA come into effect?

DORA was published in the Official Journal of the European Union in December 2022 and came into force on 17 January 2025. Financial entities and relevant ICT service providers are now required to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the regulation and maintain robust operational resilience frameworks.

What are the key regulatory requirements related to DORA?

The requirements are designed to enhance the operational resilience of the financial sector and enable it to better prevent, detect, respond to and recover from ICT-related disruptions, thereby enhancing the stability and security of the broader financial system in the EU. The key regulatory requirements under DORA, also known as the 5 Pillars of DORA, are: ICT Risk Management, ICT-Related Incident Reporting, Digital Operational Resilience Testing, ICT Third-Party Risk Management, Information and Intelligence Sharing

Who must comply with DORA?

DORA will impact all financial entities regulated at the European Union level including: The Financial Services Industry Payment institutions​Investment firms Insurance companies Credit rating agencies​Crypto-asset service providers Crowdfunding service providers Data analytics and audit services Fintech​Trading venues Financial system providers Credit institutions Third-party ICT service providers for financial entities are also within scope of DORA requirements.

What’s the penalty for noncompliance?

The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) have the power to impose fines for noncompliance. Firms that violate DORA’s requirements face fines of up to two percent of their total annual worldwide turnover, and an individual faces a maximum fine of 1,000,000 euro. Third-party providers designated as critical by the ESAs face even higher fines for noncompliance— up to 5,000,000 euro or, for an individual, a maximum fine of 500,000 euro. If a financial entity fails to report a major ICT-related incident or threat, the ESAs can also impose a fine.
