The CS-8 Way

CS-8's Example Cyber Roadmap

CS-8's collaborative discovery process begins with engaging key stakeholders to understand your cyber challenges and responsibilities. Working closely with your IT team, we perform a thorough assessment of your current software and cyber landscape, identifying vulnerabilities and potential gaps. This enables us to tailor a cybersecurity program that enhances your resilience, mitigates risks, and if needed, provides assistance with deploying software solutions for comprehensive protection against evolving threats.:

In a short and impactful All Staff Briefing with CS-8, we introduce the program's objectives for the next 12 months, outlining how it will enhance our organization's cyber safety. This session empowers all staff to play an active role in bolstering our resilience against cyber threats. Whether conducted online or in person, together, we embark on a journey towards a cyber-safe future, guided by CS-8's expertise and comprehensive approach.

Over 12 months, we conduct simulated phishing exercises for all staff. Our diverse approach measures your staff's ability to recognise phishing emails, providing valuable experience and insights. This hands-on learning complements our cybersecurity program, fostering heightened cyber awareness and proactive defense across your organisation. Together, we build a stronger defense against phishing and stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.

Remedial Training for Clickers is a crucial aspect of our cybersecurity program, aiming to address any uncertainty staff members may have in recognizing simulated phishing exercises. In instances where staff members inadvertently click on suspicious emails, we encourage them to undergo a short, targeted e-learning training session. This session helps improve their knowledge and equips them with essential skills to better identify potential phishing attempts

Our Cyber Awareness Presentations are thoughtfully designed to empower your staff with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the digital landscape safely. These engaging sessions can be hosted either onsite or online, providing flexibility for your team's convenience. Covering a wide range of topics, our presentations span from basic cyber skills to real-world cyber incidents, ensuring that participants gain a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity best practices. We also offer hands-on practical workshops and sessions tailored for senior leadersZ, targeted department workshops and those seeking more advanced cyber skills. What sets our presentations apart is the emphasis on practical application. Through interactive exercises, we work directly with your staff, fostering confidence and competence in handling cyber challenges effectively. Our focus isn't limited to the workplace alone; we extend our knowledge to help your staff protect their families at home, ensuring a holistic approach to cyber safety.

Account reviews are crucial catch-up sessions between CS-8 and our clients. We discuss previous presentations, simulated phishing results, feedback, and upcoming events. This collaborative approach helps improve cybersecurity practices and ensures a strong cyber posture to tackle evolving threats.

Software support is just one example of the comprehensive assistance that CS-8's team can provide. With the option of a completely managed cyber awareness program or collaborating with your IT team, we ensure seamless alignment of all exercises, workshops, presentations, and trainings with the program's messaging and cyber posture.
