Security Awareness & Phishing Training for Yorkshire Businesses
When it comes to phishing attacks, cyber criminals rely on users being untrained, unaware, and unengaged. They rely on human error – from their perspective, gaining access to your business’ funds, systems, and data is far easier when a human willingly grants access (albeit through deception) than it is to bypass encryption, firewalls, strong passwords etc.

About phishing
What is a Phishing Scam? And How can I Protect my Yorkshire Business against Them?
A phishing attack is classed as a type of social engineering scam, where an individual receives communication (phone call, email, text, DM etc) from a criminal “spoofing” as a reputable organisation or individual.
Common phishing attempts include posing as a boss or manager asking for you to log in to a fake portal to steal log-in details, as a delivery service getting you to click a malicious link disguised as a tracking tool, or a supplier sending a fake invoice.
Phishing attacks can come in all shapes and sizes – which is why it’s so important for your business in Yorkshire to stay vigilant and up-to-date with evolving phishing tactics.

What is Security Awareness and Phishing Training?
Security awareness training teaches employees how to recognise and respond to cyber threats such as phishing emails, malicious links, fake invoices and social engineering attacks through a bank of engaging content – Flyford provide your Yorkshire business with newsletters, video content, blogs and more. The goal is simple; help your staff identify suspicious activity and report it before it becomes a security incident.
Phishing training on the other hand focuses specifically on helping employees identify fraudulent messages designed to steal login credentials, financial information or company data. We provide simulated phishing emails that you can customise to authentically emulate real phishing attempts so staff can learn how attackers operate in a safe environment.

FAQs
While it’s important to provide your staff with regular knowledge updates and security updates, a balance needs to be struck between plausible threat and staff workload. Most organisations provide security awareness training throughout the year, with many Yorkshire businesses typically setting employees a module to complete every month to keep security at the forefront of their minds – though some of your staff (for one reason or another) may need more training than others to reduce risk levels.
Regular refreshers, simulated phishing campaigns, and updated training modules help ensure employees remain aware of evolving cybersecurity and phishing threats.
What makes phishing attacks so effective is that they target people rather than technology. Attackers use convincing messages to trick employees into clicking links, entering login details or transferring money. Even well-secured systems can be compromised if a user unknowingly gives access. From the hacker / cybercriminal’s perspective, it is far easier to deceive one untrained employee than it is to bypass firewalls, encryption, password managers, and VPNs – which is why they’re becoming more and more commonplace.
Many cyber insurers expect businesses to provide staff cybersecurity training as part of their risk management practices. Security awareness programmes help demonstrate that your organisation is actively reducing cyber risk.
Absolutely! Small and medium-sized businesses are frequently targeted by phishing attacks because attackers assume security controls and training may be weaker – larger corporations have comprehensive policies in place, whereas many smaller organisations often overlook cybersecurity training. IT solutions for small businesses, like security awareness training, help reduce this risk and strengthen your overall cybersecurity posture.
Technical security tools can block many threats, including a lot of spoof emails (through scanning them and picking up on known malicious links and modules, DNS filtering, etc), but these are never 100% effective. If they can bypass these security measures, the phishing attacks then rely on human error, lack of awareness, or lapses in attention. Training employees to recognise suspicious emails provides an additional layer of protection that technical tools alone cannot deliver.
