The public sector is being targeted by cybercriminals. Make sure the risk is as low as possible with Guardey.

While your office may have robust security measures in place, it’s essential to consider the security of employees who work remotely from home. Are their home networks adequately protected? Moreover, employees may also work while traveling, on holiday, or from rental locations. In short, it’s crucial not to focus solely on the office environment.
It’s essential to be aware of the risks that exist beyond the office. By utilizing a secure business VPN connection through Guardey, the location of work becomes irrelevant. With Guardey’s secure VPN, employees can stay safe and remain invisible to cybercriminals, no matter where they work or connect to the network. Protecting your data should extend beyond the office, ensuring comprehensive security for all remote working scenarios. And the best of all, you have insights in all the risk that are coming through the VPN tunnel.
While implementing robust technological measures like virus scans, strict firewalls, and business VPNs can make it challenging for cybercriminals, it’s important to acknowledge that human actions can still pose significant risks. Clicking on malicious links, downloading contaminated files, or inserting infected USB sticks can bypass even the most advanced security systems. Surprisingly, 95% of hacks and data breaches occur due to human activity.
To address this critical vulnerability, it is crucial to raise awareness among all employees in your public sector organization about the risks and dangers of working online. One effective approach is to engage employees in a weekly cyber security awareness challenge facilitated by Guardey. This initiative helps educate and reinforce good cybersecurity practices, ensuring that your workforce remains vigilant and well-informed about potential threats. By combining technology with a proactive human-focused approach, you can significantly enhance your organization’s overall cybersecurity posture.

“After receiving a lot of phishing emails, we decided to do a phishing test last year to test the cyber awareness of our employees. During this test, we sent fake emails to see how many would click a possibly harmful link. The result? 29.4% did, which was higher than expected. After using Guardey for only a few weeks the scores had improved by 84%.”

CEO & Founder of Dapper Growth AgencyRelying solely on a firewall for cyber security leaves your organization vulnerable to evolving and sophisticated threats. Cyber attacks target multiple vectors, including vulnerabilities in software, employee endpoints and web applications. Guardey works in conjunction with the firewall.
Firewalls keep out up to 80% of online risks. With Guardey, it is transparent which online risks did make it through the firewall. In addition, human errors are still too often made, so also train employees to work responsibly online.
It’s good that you are already using a VPN. This makes you invisible to malicious people, but at the end of the day, employees can still be vulnerable by bringing in the wrong orders or wrong websites.
Guardey is more than a business VPN. Guardey also provides monitoring in the VPN tunnel. This detects online risks and allows a quick response.
These days we are all busy, we recognise that 😉 All the more important is employee awareness. Make sure employees don’t accidentally make mistakes due to pressure. After all, that only creates extra work.
That’s why our challenges are only a maximum of 5 minutes and can be done quickly in between. A new challenge becomes available every week. As an organisation, do you want to play these challenges every week, every two weeks or every month? Of course, that’s no problem either.
Short answer: yes! It is possible to play just the gamification.
Have you already taken sufficient cyber security measures for your employees in the office and outside the office? But can awareness still be worked on? Then you can also play just the gamification. This can already be done very easily in just the browser. Check out our game only package here.
Phishing is especially dangerous when you don’t know you’re dealing with phishing. That’s why our cyber awarness game is the first step against phishing. Make people aware of the dangers and make sure they have the right knowledge so they don’t click on anything.
