Human Risk Management
Assessed. Mitigated. Embedded.
You’ve invested in firewalls and endpoint protection. Yet attackers consistently bypass this technology by targeting the one element it can’t fully protect: your people. Our Human Firewall Security transforms your team from potential vulnerabilities into intelligent, active defenders.
The AI-Accelerated Threat Landscape
Traditional Scams Are Gone
Today’s attackers use Generative AI to supercharge social engineering:
- Hyper-Realistic Phishing: AI crafts perfectly worded, context-aware emails that bypass spam filters and mimic legitimate internal communications.
- Deepfakes & Impersonation: AI generates convincing audio and real-time chat impersonations, making scams harder than ever to detect.
This isn’t a technology failure. It’s a gap between what systems can detect and what sophisticated, AI-enhanced deception can achieve.
The Business Impact
82%
of security breaches involve human error.
£3.66 Million
is the average cost of a data breach (IBM 2024) with SMEs being targeted nearly four times more than large organisations (Verizon 2025).
£40-£80
saved for every £1 invested in human firewall training.
“We phoned a user and asked them to provide their client list. They sent it via email within five minutes without questioning why we needed it.”
Human security training is now more critical than ever.
Why Our Approach Works
Most security awareness training is a tick-box compliance exercise that fails to change behaviour.
We don’t just teach rules. We develop security instincts through realistic, continuous, and AI-aware reinforcement.
Security Awareness That Drives Real Behaviour Change
Role-Specific Training
Scenarios are tailored to job function. Accounts Payable staff see invoice fraud. Marketing sees event scams. Training addresses real, daily threats your team actually faces.
Sophisticated AI-Driven Simulations
Regular phishing campaigns use current, AI-enhanced threat patterns from over 25,000 constantly updated templates. This builds a “spidey-sense” against advanced social engineering, not just obvious tests.
Continuous Reinforcement
Quarterly campaigns, current threat briefings, and positive feedback systems keep security top-of-mind. This avoids training fatigue and ensures security remains a cultural priority.
Integrated Response
Direct connection to our Threat Response Centre (TRC) for immediate incident escalation. Your employee transforms from victim into first responder, containing threats faster.
Proven Return on Investment
Investing in a human firewall is strategic risk reduction, not a cost:
40% Reduction in Phishing Susceptibility
within 3 months of implementation and reaching 86% improvement within 12 months.
£40-£80 Saved Per £1 Invested
Every pound spent on our training saves an estimated £40-£80 in potential breach costs.
Natural Compliance
Satisfies POPIA and GDPR requirements by addressing the primary security failure point: the employee.
