The most common attacks against Canadian businesses don't start with a sophisticated technical exploit. They start with an email, a text or a phone call. That is why employee training is one of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's 13 baseline controls.
Why train your teams
- Prevent human error: spot a fake invoice, a fraudulent link, an unusual urgent request.
- Build the right reflexes: verify through another channel, report without fear, lock your screen.
- Protect personal information: every employee has a role in privacy compliance.
- Use AI responsibly: know what must never be pasted into an AI tool.
- Boost productivity: employees comfortable with their tools waste less time.
What actually works
A three-minute video once a month is not enough. What changes behaviour:
- real examples from your industry and region;
- hands-on exercises to recognize phishing;
- a blame-free reporting culture: a false alarm beats a hidden incident;
- short, regular reminders.
Our training
Our 90-minute employee session covers phishing, fraud, passwords, MFA, information protection, remote work and incident reporting. It is included in the Cyberallié Shield and available separately in our training, online or in person in Ottawa and the Outaouais.
