IT.ie has launched a new gamified cybersecurity awareness training in an effort to help businesses to tackle the increasing risk of cyberattacks.
The service works by simulating real cyberattacks.
The company said human error currently accounts for 90% of data breach incidents.
With this in mind, its new service aims to reduce that risk by creating an engaging experience which encourages employees to maintain and upskill their cyber-resistance.
The service helps businesses identify areas where individuals may be vulnerable and require improvement such as awareness of phishing tactics, or effective password management.
The result of the analysis allows IT.ie to create a personalised training path for each user to strengthen the areas where they are weakest.
As employees engage with the service, this feeds into an overall company risk score.
Over time, IT.ie said businesses and their employees can see the benefits that the training is having as their score decreases.
"Through experience, we know that the journey a business takes in developing a coherent cybersecurity strategy is not achieved overnight, and employees are the last line of defence in terms of the cyber threat landscape," said Eamon Gallagher, founder and managing director, IT.ie.
"Our Cyber Awareness Training & Phishing simulation platform paves the way for organisations to invest in their people so as to ensure the development of a robust and healthy cyber security culture," he added.
