Security awareness: your first line of defense against cyberattacks

Employees are the first — and often most critical — line of defense against cyber threats. Yet many attacks specifically target the human factor. Techniques like phishing, social engineering, and malicious hardware exploit trust, carelessness, or lack of knowledge to gain access to sensitive data and systems.

With our Security Awareness Services, we prepare your team to recognize current threats and respond effectively. Your employees will learn to identify suspicious emails, recognize social engineering tactics, and protect themselves against malicious hardware such as BadUSBs.

BearingPoint strengthens your organization’s security awareness across multiple key areas:

Why security awareness matters

Targeted protection against human-related security risks. Your benefit: increased security through informed employees.

Early detection of social engineering attacks and manipulation techniques

Reduced risk through trained and attentive employees

Protection against phishing, insecure passwords and malicious USB devices (BadUSB)

Enhanced security improvements through targeted awareness training

Protect your company with BearingPoint Security Awareness & Social Engineering Services – before attackers exploit a weakness.

Security Awareness Services & Penetration Testing. An unbeatable combination.

Technical protection measures alone are not enough - the human factor remains one of the biggest weaknesses in IT security. While security awareness training helps employees recognize and respond to threats like phishing and social engineering, a penetration test identifies technical weaknesses within your systems.

By combining both measures, you strengthen your overall security strategy: your employees learn to recognize attacks and react correctly, while your IT infrastructure is actively tested for vulnerabilities. This allows you to close security gaps before attackers can exploit them.

Numbers that speak for themselves. And for Security Awareness Services.

  • Uninformed risk-taking: 71 of all employees admit to consciously taking cyber risks
  • Employees as the target of social engineering: 47 of cyberattacks exploit the "human vulnerability"
  • Frequency of phishing attacks: 94 of companies were affected by phishing attacks in 2023
