REDUCE HUMAN CYBERSECURITY RISK WITH THE

SAFE PROGRAM

According to the Verizon Data Breach Report, 82% of cybersecurity incident breaches in 2022 involved a company employee and this number is increasing considerably year after year. Cybersecurity attacks have major and sometimes existential impacts on organizations, including financial loss, customer credibility damage and long periods of recovery.

The human factor plays a significant role in cybersecurity and in many cases forms the weakest link of an organization´s cyber defence. While many organizations focus on their technology and processes, in the end, attackers often succeed by exploiting human errors.

To become resilient against cyber attacks, organizations must focus on increasing the resilience of people, processes and technology within cybersecurity.

HOW THE SAFE PROGRAM WILL CONTRIBUTE TO REDUCE CYBER RISKS IN YOUR ORGANIZATION?

For more effective protection against human error, Bureau Veritas combined the expertise of security specialists with the expertise of psychologists to develop the SAFE Program (Security Awareness For Everyone Program). This program, based on the MOA-model, has a single goal - effect behavioural changes to increase the human defense against cyber attacks.

This full security behaviour program focuses on assessing, enabling employees to become more cyber resilient and measuring in a continuous way the impacts on behaviours.

A POWERFUL E-LEARNING LIBRARY TO DEVELOP EMPLOYEES' RESILIENCE

Ability is a critical element of the MOA-Model of behavioural change and corresponds with education, awareness and knowledge. An employee is not able to act if they do not know what they should do. Therefore, our SAFE Program prioritizes ensuring employees have the necessary knowledge.

This knowledge is typically delivered via E-Learning courses. Bureau Veritas has developed 31 security awareness modules available off-the-shelf in 7 languages that can be deployed immediately. Typically, we support our customers to identify which of the courses are most relevant to their teams and structure a deployment plan that allows continuous learning without being overwhelming.

HOW THE SAFE PROGRAM WILL BENEFIT YOUR ORGANIZATION?

With the SAFE approach, your company will invest in creating awareness and achieving behavioral change that is tailored to the needs of the employees in your organization. As a result, the maturity level of information security increases, making the organization more resilient against outside attacks.

SAFE demonstrates to make your employees more aware and competent to behave appropriately in case there are attempts by malicious parties to gain access to systems and information.

With SAFE, your employees reduce the chance of cyber incidents with a major impact and thus the associated high costs and the risk of reputation damage
