Hornetsecurity's Security Awareness Service
Simple. Measurable. Effective.
Make your employees your organization's strongest defense!
The Security Awareness Service from Hornetsecurity, provided and managed by ceterion, specifically, sustainably, and measurably enhances your employees' security awareness.
Through automated, AI-powered training and realistic phishing simulations, you effectively reduce human security risks – without additional administrative overhead.
, IT security starts with people
Over 80% of successful cyberattacks originate from human behavior – for instance, through phishing, social engineering, or inattentiveness in daily work.
Typical Challenges in Practice:
- Employees fail to recognize phishing and fraud attempts
- Security policies are overlooked in daily work
- Lack of robust key figures for management, audits, and compliance
- High IT effort with low sustainable impact
Technology alone is insufficient – security awareness must be firmly integrated into daily operations.
