How can Security Training for none Security Staff beat Cyber Crime – Social Engineering

Sending 10 workers to BJSL Training now offers two distinct pathways depending on the technical experience of your staff. Both options focus on transforming employees into a “human firewall” to protect the organization from technology-related risks. Cyber Security Foundation Bootcamps offer a strategic way to mitigate human-related risks, which are responsible for a significant majority of security breaches.

Training Options Comparison

With the addition of the condensed course, you can now tailor the investment based on the specific roles and existing knowledge of your team:

Feature Foundation Bootcamp (2-Day) Condensed Course (1-Day)
Target Audience General office workers, regardless of computer experience Users with existing knowledge (e.g., Project Managers)
Cost per Person £695 (Minimum 10) £495 (Minimum 10)
Total Investment £6,950 £4,950
Course Length 16 hours over two days 8 hours (Intense 1-day format)
Intensity Comprehensive with discussions & case studies High-intensity, fast-paced

 

Core Curriculum (Shared by Both)

Regardless of the duration chosen, both courses cover the same foundational cybersecurity subjects to ensure organizational safety:

  • Security Compliance: Identifying organizational and legal requirements (such as GDPR).
  • Social Engineering: Learning to recognize and defend against phishing and other manipulation attempts.
  • Device Security: Maintaining physical security and using secure authentication for desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
  • Safe Internet Usage: Securely navigating email, social networks, and cloud services, with specific training for remote working.
  • Malware Defence: Identifying and avoiding viruses, ransomware, and other malicious software.

 

 

Organizational Benefits

Investing in this training for 10 office workers provides several high-value returns:

Benefit Category Impact on the Organization
Risk Mitigation Reduces the likelihood of successful phishing or malware attacks, which account for a high percentage of security incidents.
“Human Firewall” Empowers employees to act as an active layer of defense, identifying threats before they escalate into breaches.
Regulatory Compliance Helps ensure the organization meets legal requirements (such as GDPR) and avoids costly penalties for non-compliance.
Data Protection Teaches staff how to safeguard sensitive company and client information across devices and cloud services.
Reduced Downtime Fast incident reporting by trained staff can minimize the impact and duration of a potential security breach.

 

Strategic Value of the Investment

  • Cost Savings: For a cohort of 10 knowledgeable users like Project Managers, the £4,950 condensed option provides a 28% cost saving compared to the full bootcamp while delivering the same critical curriculum.
  • Risk Mitigation: Because human error is a factor in the vast majority of breaches, training even 10 staff members significantly reduces the “attack surface” of your company.
  • Productivity: The 1-day course is specifically designed for staff with higher technical proficiency, minimizing their time away from projects while still reinforcing vital security protocols.
  • Compliance: Both courses enable your staff to demonstrate familiarity with foundational concepts determined by industry practitioners, helping the company meet its legal compliance obligations.

Recommendation

  • Use the 2-Day Bootcamp (£6,950) for general administrative and office staff to ensure they have ample time for discussions and hands-on case studies to build their confidence from the ground up.
  • Use the 1-Day Condensed Course (£4,950) for more senior staff or those in technical management roles (like Project Managers) who already possess basic digital literacy and can handle a faster, more intense learning pace.
