How confident are you that your employees could spot a phishing email before it causes harm? It’s a question every business should be asking – because when it comes to cyber security, your people are often both your first line of defence and your biggest vulnerability.
Even the most advanced systems can’t protect against human error. A misplaced click, a reused password, or an accidental data share can open the door to serious risks. These small, everyday mistakes form your organisation’s human risk factor – and understanding it is essential to building stronger defences.
That’s why VMit has introduced usecure, a new platform designed to help businesses measure and reduce their human risk through smart staff training, ongoing awareness, and continuous monitoring.
Why the Human Element Matters More Than Ever
Cyber security isn’t just about firewalls and antivirus software – it’s about awareness. A recent article reports that 95% of data breaches last year were tied to human error.
Cybercriminals know this. They’re not just breaking through firewalls anymore – they’re slipping past inboxes disguised as legitimate contacts, banking notifications, or even internal memos. One well-timed click can trigger a ransomware attack or leak confidential client data, costing thousands in recovery and reputation damage.
Human readiness is at the core of every strong cyber defence. usecure empowers your team to recognise and respond to risks effectively.
What Is usecure, and How Does It Help?
usecure is a modern Human Risk Management platform that turns cyber awareness into measurable action. Instead of one-off training sessions that quickly fade from memory, usecure keeps your staff learning and improving all year round – without adding to your workload.
Here’s how it works:
- Realistic Phishing Simulations
usecure safely tests your employees’ reactions to real-world phishing attempts. These automated campaigns mimic the kind of emails staff see every day – including package notifications and fake client invoices – and measure who clicks, reports, or ignores. It’s not about blame; it’s about visibility. You’ll finally know which departments or individuals are most at risk and where to focus your training efforts. - Targeted, Bite-Sized Training
Once weak spots are identified, staff receive short, interactive modules tailored to their risk level. Lessons cover phishing awareness, password hygiene, and secure data handling – all delivered in plain English and designed to fit into a busy workday. By learning in small, consistent bursts, your team builds long-lasting awareness rather than short-term recall. - Continuous Monitoring and Reporting
After each simulation, usecure automatically generates a report summarising your organisation’s human risk factor – highlighting trends, improvements, and vulnerabilities. A trusted IT partner will provide these reports after every campaign at no additional cost, giving you a clear picture of your team’s progress over time.
A Smarter, People-First Approach to Cyber Security
Technology alone can’t protect your business – your people are your strongest (or weakest) defence. Usecure helps you shift from reactive security to proactive prevention, empowering your workforce to become part of the solution.
By understanding how staff behave when faced with digital threats, you can:
- Pinpoint where your cyber security training has the most impact.
- Encourage accountability across departments.
- Build a culture of caution and awareness, not fear.
This ongoing cycle of testing, training, and tracking turns security from a one-time task into an everyday mindset.
