Security Awareness Training
Educate Your Team and Protect Your Company's Reputation
One of the biggest risks to your business is ransomware which is typically spread through phishing attacks or when an employee accesses a malicious website. Security awareness training is a critical component of your comprehensive security strategy to help stop the spread of ransomware and other malware. It helps your employees understand the importance of cybersecurity, identify threats, and take appropriate actions to protect your company’s assets and meet compliance standards.
Ballast Services’ security awareness training is a comprehensive program designed to educate employees on cybersecurity best practices and current threats. The program includes online training sessions, phishing simulations, and skill assessments that help employees stay up to date on the latest security trends and techniques. The training is managed by our security awareness team who provides support and resources to you to ensure that your employees are confident and knowledgeable about their role in maintaining the security of your organization.
Today, most organizations must comply with various regulations such as the GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, which require regular security training for employees. Additionally, many cybersecurity insurance providers will require proof of regular security awareness training as a prerequisite for coverage. Our Security Awareness Service will help you meet compliance and cyber insurance requirements.
Ballast also proactively monitors your employees’ credentials by constantly scanning the dark web for exposed credentials. We perform monitoring of botnets, hidden chat rooms, private and black-market websites, IRC channels, and social media. When your employees’ business credentials are comprised, we immediately notify you and assist with remediation.

Banking Industry Shake Ups Introduce New Cyberattack Campaigns
Cybercriminals are always looking for new ways to exploit people's fears and emotions to trick them into divulging sensitive information or downloading malicious software. One common tactic is to use newsworthy events to conduct social engineering and phishing campaigns which are designed to manipulate people into doing something they should not, such as clicking on a link or providing login credentials via timely fraudulent communications that appear to be related to a news event.

Businesses are increasingly dependent on technology to enable their operations, and the security of their digital assets has become a constant pressing concern.
