The Orange Team focuses on the human element of cybersecurity, improving user behaviour and awareness to reduce the risk of breaches. Even with the most sophisticated security tools in place, an organisation remains vulnerable if its employees are not adequately trained to recognise and respond to cyber threats. Syscomm’s Orange Team offers a holistic approach to this challenge by developing tailored security awareness training that addresses the unique risks employees face in their daily roles.
Comprehensive User Training and Development
Syscomm’s Orange Team provides structured user training that extends beyond basic awareness sessions. We focus on engaging, role-specific content that is both practical and relevant to employees’ day-to-day responsibilities. Through a combination of phishing simulations, interactive learning modules, and in-person workshops, Syscomm ensures that employees not only understand the risks but are also equipped to act as a first line of defence. These training programs cover a wide range of topics, from identifying phishing attempts to safely handling sensitive data, ensuring that cybersecurity becomes ingrained in the organisation’s culture.
A key element of our training is the focus on continual improvement. We regularly assess the effectiveness of our training programs through feedback loops and behavioural assessments, allowing us to refine and adapt content to meet evolving threats. This means employees are not only trained once but are continually exposed to updated security practices, ensuring their knowledge stays current. These assessments also allow us to identify employees or departments that may require additional training or tailored interventions to strengthen their security awareness.
The Risks of Not Having an Orange Team
Without an Orange Team, organisations face a significant blind spot in their cybersecurity posture. Human error remains one of the leading causes of security breaches, often due to employees lacking the training to recognise or respond to phishing attacks, social engineering, or insider threats. Relying solely on technical defenses leaves organisations exposed to the very real risks of human vulnerability. A single employee clicking on a malicious email or failing to follow security protocols can lead to severe consequences, including ransomware attacks, data theft, or regulatory fines.
In addition to the direct financial impacts, organisations without robust security awareness programs often suffer from compliance issues. Many industries require proof that employees have received security training, and failure to meet these standards can result in non-compliance penalties. The reputational damage associated with breaches resulting from human error can also be severe, eroding customer trust and damaging relationships with partners and stakeholders.
Syscomm’s Proactive Approach: From Risk Management to Policy Development
Syscomm goes beyond basic training by integrating Risk Management Policies and developing comprehensive security protocols that support long-term cybersecurity awareness. Our Orange Team works with organisations to develop customised security policies, such as acceptable use, data handling, and incident response policies. These are not just guidelines but active components of our training programs, ensuring that every employee understands and complies with the organisation’s security framework.
These policies, combined with onsite training and regular assessments, form the backbone of Syscomm’s Orange Team services. We emphasise the importance of creating a security-conscious culture where every employee feels empowered to contribute to the organisation’s defence. By continually updating policies and training in response to new threats, Syscomm ensures that organisations are not only compliant but also equipped to handle the complexities of today’s cyber landscape.
Long-Term Impact: Changing Behaviours for Lasting Security
The ultimate goal of Syscomm’s Orange Team is to effect lasting behavioural change within the organisation. Through continuous training, policy development, and risk management, we help organisations transform their workforce into a well-informed and vigilant defence force. User behaviour is one of the most critical factors in preventing breaches, and by addressing it directly through our Orange Team services, Syscomm enables organisations to significantly reduce their risk exposure.
In a cyber threat landscape where human error is often the weakest link, investing in the development of employees through security awareness training is no longer optional – it’s essential. Syscomm’s Orange Team equips organisations with the tools, knowledge, and policies needed to safeguard their operations against human-driven threats. By fostering a security-first mindset, we ensure that every employee contributes to a robust and resilient security posture.
