Cyber Security & Awareness Training
IT security-focused user awareness training for organisations across London & South East
User Awareness Training From £3 A Month
Cyber security concerns are ever increasing in modern organisations. As such, keeping users aware of potential threats is vital to ensuring your organisations wider protection.
Approximately 88% of cyber breaches occur as a result of an employee mistake, so providing ongoing training to keep up with evolving attacks is key.
Akita is a leading provider of user awareness training programs across London and the wider UK. Better than stale seminars, our cyber security training embraces a proactive approach that tests unsuspecting users during their working hours. We then provide interactive online training to ensure that lessons are learned about cyber risks.
Plus, our training service is designed to run multiple times throughout a year, ensuring ongoing vigilance against cyber threats within your organisation.

Why Cyber Security Training Is Essential
Due to our reliance on IT systems and the risk associated with data breaches both financially and reputationally, cyber security training is a critical layer of defence.
By equipping employees with the knowledge, skills, and awareness necessary to identify and mitigate potential risks, cyber security training plays a pivotal role in safeguarding businesses from the ever-evolving threat of cyber-attacks.
First and foremost cyber security training empowers employees to recognise threats such as phishing emails, malware infections and social engineering attacks. Additionally, promoting regular training sessions creates a culture of cyber awareness and ingrains the mindset into your employee’s every day operations.
As mentioned above, organisations’ biggest security vulnerabilities are their people, yet for some reason many focus on safeguarding other areas and disregard this key piece of the puzzle. Employee’s have a duty to protect their respective organisations, but they need to first understand that they have that role, and second understand how to do it vigilantly.
How Our Training Makes A Difference
Our cyber security training has been embraced by organisations across the UK who are looking to proactively improve their cyber security defence.
One organisation we’ve worked with is a specialist London company involved in regulated financial partnerships to enhance cyber security awareness across their operations. Our training services delivered fast success in the organisation. Training significantly increased employee awareness and vigilance around cyber threats in email, with camaraderie not to be the one caught out by ever-more sophisticated phishing simulations.
By prioritising user awareness and fostering a culture of continuous cyber security vigilance, the finance company has successfully adopted a proactive stance against potential risks and vulnerabilities.

We appreciate organisations don’t have the time for teams to sit through afternoons of training that may not even be effective for them.
Our approach is more practical. Coordinating with your in-house IT team or leadership, we run an AI-crafted phishing attack simulation for your unsuspecting user base, identifying those who would otherwise interact with potentially dangerous email or online content.
Leadership can then choose whether everyone or only those who fail the attack simulation move on to training.
Our user awareness training is then delivered as an interactive online security course that the users must complete correctly to pass.
By conducting cyber security training in this way rather than in a seated training session, our program guarantees the attention of those being trained and tests them on real-life situations.
Further attack simulation can then be scheduled later in the year to check that knowledge has been retained and that users are threat aware.
