EMPLOYEE AWARENESS MONTH: THE KEY TRENDS TO WATCH OUT FOR AS WE HEAD INTO 2025

H

uman error remains one of the most common causes of security breaches, making staff training and awareness essential components of any cybersecurity strategy. Here are the latest trends that senior IT professionals need to be aware of in 2024 and beyond...

1. Gamified Cybersecurity Training To increase engagement and retention, gamified cybersecurity training is becoming more popular. Traditional training can be seen as dull or repetitive, leading to disengagement.

Gamification introduces elements like quizzes, simulations, and competitive scoring to make learning more interactive and memorable.

Employees are more likely to absorb critical information, such as how to identify phishing attacks or use strong passwords, when training feels like a challenge rather than a chore.

2. Continuous Microlearning In place of once-a-year, hourlong sessions, microlearning delivers short, digestible chunks of cybersecurity training on a more frequent basis. These bite-sized lessons may be in the form of a 5-minute video, an interactive quiz, or a short article focused on a specific threat, like ransomware or phishing.

This approach helps reinforce learning over time, keeping cybersecurity top of mind for employees. IT leaders should implement platforms that allow for easy, continuous learning throughout the year.

3. Phishing Simulations and Real-Time Feedback Phishing remains one of the most significant cyber threats, with attackers becoming more sophisticated in their tactics.

Phishing simulation tools, which mimic real phishing attacks to test employees’ responses, are being used widely to identify vulnerabilities within an organization. These tools often provide real-time feedback, helping employees understand the risks and how to avoid falling victim to such scams in the future. Regular simulations can help reduce the number of successful phishing attacks and create a more security-conscious workforce.

4. Focus on Insider Threats and Privilege Management Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, are a growing concern. IT professionals are increasingly focusing on limiting access to sensitive data through privilege management and ensuring that employees only have access to the information necessary for their roles. Training employees on the importance of data privacy and implementing strong internal controls helps mitigate insider risks. Senior IT professionals should work to create a culture of accountability around data handling and access control.

5. Personal Device and Remote Work Security With the continued prevalence of remote and hybrid work,

personal device security has become a top priority. Training employees on secure practices for using personal devices, such as keeping software updated, using encrypted connections (VPNs), and identifying suspicious activity, is essential. The rise of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies also means that organizations must have clear guidelines and training on protecting corporate data outside the office.

Conclusion To keep pace with the evolving threat landscape, senior IT professionals must adopt new trends in employee cybersecurity awareness. From gamified training and continuous microlearning to phishing simulations and a stronger focus on insider threats, these approaches enhance employee engagement and reduce the risk of human error. By staying proactive and using these tools, organizations can build a resilient workforce capable of identifying and preventing cybersecurity threats.

SEMINARS THURSDAY 7TH NOVEMBER

14.00 - 14.35

“2S2C: Standardising and Simplifying for Consistency and Compliance in integrating Technology” In this seminar, Martin Byford-Rew will introduce the concept of 2S2C, which stands for Standardising, Simplifying, Consistency, and Compliance. This approach advocates for the standardisation and simplification of digital and technology provisions in educational & other settings to achieve consistency and compliance with statutory and advisory obligations. Martin will discuss the common pitfalls of adopting new technologies without considering their integration with existing systems, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs. By adhering to the 2S2C framework, institutions can ensure their technology systems are more predictable, easier to support, and compliant with relevant obligations, ultimately enhancing the effectiveness and financial sustainability of their digital and technology initiatives.

Martin Byford-Rew Head of Digital Systems King Edward VI Foundation Birmingham

Martin Byford-Rew is an experienced ICT Consultant specialising in the education sector. With over 25 years of experience, Martin has held various significant roles, most recently as the Head of Digital Systems for King Edward VI Foundation, Birmingham.

Martin’s career is marked by his belief that ICT should be transparent and enable users to access necessary services seamlessly. He adheres to four fundamental principles to standardise and simplify systems, bringing about consistency for all, thereby ensuring compliance with statutory and advisory obligations to which the organisation is bound.
