In a first step, the Network & System Engineer from redIT, Alex Faes, carried out the security awareness training on site with the employees of UBV Lanz. Because personal contact in order to understand and respond to the direct reactions and facial expressions of the participants is particularly important to us. For this reason, the employees of UBV Lanz AG have been divided into two groups. Afterwards, various points about hacker attacks and their procedures were discussed in around half a day. As a result, a very proactive discussion emerged.
In a second step, our Phish & Threat solution was implemented. This happened as follows: A potential hacker email was sent by UBV Lanz's IT department specifically to the company's employees. There were various warnings in the email for employees to recognize, e.g. b.
Employees who had fallen into the trap and clicked on the link were then invited directly to an online training course lasting around 5-10 minutes.

Our solution is therefore aimed at all security-conscious companies that want to minimize the “employee” risk factor through training.
Phishing Awareness Training (Phish & Threat) was developed by our security specialists to put SMEs through their paces in the area of IT security. You can also test your employees through targeted campaigns to identify any weak points or gateways.
Days later, the employees of UBV Lanz were still discussing intensively the size of the attack potential of hackers and their approach. The participants also benefited in private matters, reports an employee of UBV Lanz. Our Phish & Threat continues at UBV Lanz. The company wants to ensure that both its new and existing employees remain aware of how to use electronic communication and can refresh their knowledge about possible hacker attacks.
“We used simulated phishing attacks to make our employees aware of a key cyber risk. redIT gave us excellent advice right from the start and supported us in all processes. We will continue to use the Phish Threat Portal for security awareness training.”
