Employee Cybersecurity Training
Human error causes over 92% of data breaches.
Point North Networks empowers your employees through self-improvement, personal protection, and engaging training that is relatable, not demeaning.
Customer Data Makes You Vulnerable
Dark Web Data Can’t Be Erased
Password Reuse is an Epidemic
All data is valuable to cyber criminals.
With the storage of customer data and limited resources to dedicate to cybersecurity, your organization may be at a higher risk of suffering a cyber criminal attack.
Employee credentials can be easily exposed.
Company accounts can be involved in a data breach such as LinkedIn or Dropbox. These breached credentials can’t be erased and without proactive security and swift remediation, can pose high risks to your network.
“It’s easier to use just one password.”
59% of individuals admitted to mostly or always using the same password, despite 91% knowing it’s a security risk.* If a breached password is reused, that account is at risk of being hacked.
Short, educational, and easy-to-understand.
EVA uses videos and quizzes to empower your employees in a relatable way.
Get an Employee Secure Score (ESS).
EVA evaluates risk from key security metrics into an ESS, showing which employees can cause your next data breach. Policy acknowledgement is a key piece of the ESS and is a “to-do” item on their steps to improving employees’ scores, driving faster acknowledgement and less chasing after employees.
Continuous monitoring.
EVA provides continuous monitoring of the dark web and keeps track of credentials while personal scanning protects their friends, family, and their own accounts. AutoPhish allows Point North Networks to work with you to determine your annual phishing initiatives and goals for the year.

What is Employee Cybersecurity Training?
A majority of cybersecurity threats happen due to employee error. Hackers and cybercriminals are increasingly targeting employees to realize their cybercrimes and these are done through phishing emails, and social engineering techniques. Since most employees are not aware of such threats, they fall prey to them. This is why it is important to provide employees with cybersecurity training so that they can identify a threat and save themselves from falling for it.
