To prevent costly cyberattacks resulting from human error, Vodafone has launched Vodafone CybSafe in partnership with leading human risk management (HRM) experts CybSafe.
- Platform is designed to assist small, medium, and enterprise (SM&Es) businesses in improving their organisational human risk.
- Vodafone CybSafe leverages AI, data, and behavioural science to measure and improve cybersecurity awareness, behaviour and culture within organisations.
Vodafone CybSafe is a cybersecurity platform that leverages AI, data, psychology, and behavioural science to measure and improve cybersecurity behaviour, awareness, and culture within organisations. It is designed to assist small, medium and enterprise (SM&Es) businesses with improving cybersecurity behaviours within their teams.
Vodafone CybSafe offers scientific, evidence-based software underpinned by SebDB, the world’s most comprehensive cybersecurity behaviour database. The software provides virtual cyber assistance and scientifically-proven, behaviour-changing personalised nudges to help users address cybersecurity risks and assist organisations in meeting compliance requirements.
In addition, the platform offers a range of training modules to help boost staff confidence in managing potential cyber threats, including phishing or ransomware attacks.
Cybercriminals can’t put the squeeze on this juice business
Mejuicer is a small business, yet its owner nonetheless feels well-prepared to deal with cybersecurity threats, thanks to help from Steven Bartlett and Vodafone Digital SOS.
Businesses increasingly rely on HRM platforms like CybSafe due to the advanced capabilities of online malicious actors who primarily target employees to bypass cybersecurity measures. CybSafe focuses on targeted, intelligence-led interventions to improve security behaviours, helping to prevent attacks which otherwise could cost a small business up to £4,200.
With 43% of cyber-attacks targeting SM&Es specifically, and 60% of these leading to business closures within six months, it is even more essential that organisations put in place strong cybersecurity protocols for operational resilience.
Steve Knibbs, Director of Vodafone Business Security Enhanced, Vodafone UK, said: “We are delighted to add Vodafone CybSafe to our portfolio of cybersecurity solutions aimed at keeping SM&Es protected online.
“We frequently see cases of malicious actors taking advantage of employees who may not be suitably trained to recognise and manage different types of cyber threats. All too often, once a breach has occurred, they can go unnoticed until the real damage has been done.
“As we celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness this month, I would urge SM&Es to put dedicated protective solutions like Vodafone CybSafe in place, which are designed to improve business security culture and behaviours, while empowering employees to confidently identify, manage and mitigate potential cyber threats, effectively turning them into the first line of cybersecurity defence.”
Securing your business in a world full of apps
Mobile apps could be the chink in your company's cybersecurity armour, according to a report from Vodafone Business UK, so now is the time to take stock.
Oz Alashe MBE, CEO and Founder, CybSafe, said: “Our partnership with Vodafone Business offers an opportunity to positively impact those small and medium-sized businesses that urgently need cybersecurity support, particularly in fostering better security behaviours among their teams.
“In these businesses, people juggle multiple roles and responsibilities and, as a result, cybersecurity can become an afterthought. Yet, these are the organisations most at risk if a cyber incident occurs and the ones most likely to face serious challenges as a result.
“We often talk about the human factor in cyberattacks, but we can’t expect people to defend against these threats without proper guidance. CybSafe’s partnership with Vodafone will provide this support, and we are confident it will have a significant impact on the cyber resilience of small and medium-sized businesses.”
Vodafone CybSafe is now available to purchase from the Vodafone Business Martketplace.
