Why security awareness training falls behind real attacks
Attackers now reach people by email, phone and video, and training has to keep pace with all three.
62%
Staff are the first target
People remain a direct route into any business. Verizon’s 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found a human element in 62% of breaches, with phishing alone the way in for 16%.

19%
Training that happens rarely, if at all
Only 19% of UK businesses have provided any staff training or awareness activity, according to the UK Government’s Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025/2026. Without practice, a convincing attack is hard to spot.

22%
Calls and videos that sound like the boss
IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026 found 22% of UK organisations in its study had faced AI generated attacks, with deepfake impersonation the most common type globally. Teams approving payments need to recognise it.

Behaviour changes through regular, realistic practice, measured over time rather than ticked off once a year.
Introduction
Ongoing simulation and training that reduces human risk
Security awareness training teaches your people to recognise phishing, social engineering and other attacks that target humans rather than systems. Cybit runs ongoing simulation and training tailored to real attack patterns in your sector, with reporting that shows behaviour change over time. Businesses need this because most breaches start with a person clicking something they shouldn’t.
Our Delivery Framework
Why Choose Cybit
An annual training module that everyone clicks through proves attendance, not resilience. We benchmark your organisation with a baseline simulation first, then run ongoing campaigns built on the attack patterns actually being used against your sector, so the reporting tracks behaviour over time rather than completion rates. Finance and legal teams get invoice fraud and business email compromise scenarios, because that is what they will actually face. Ask us for a baseline phishing simulation and see where you really stand.

Data
Business Driver
Gartner research found that 74% of employees would bypass cybersecurity guidance if it helped them or their team meet a business objective, and 69% had already done so in the previous twelve months. Training that ignores that is measuring the wrong thing.

Helpful Information
Frequently Asked Questions
Ongoing training measurably reduces click rates. One off annual training largely does not. The difference is frequency and realism, which is why programmes are increasingly judged on sustained behaviour change rather than completion.
A safe, controlled simulated phishing email sent to your staff, used to establish a baseline and to give targeted follow up training to anyone who clicks.
It should not. The purpose is organisational benchmark and targeted support, not individual exposure, and reporting is structured accordingly.
Continuously, in short sessions, rather than annually in a long one. Attack patterns change through the year and so should the scenarios.
Yes. Verizon's 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report found click rates in mobile phishing simulations, by text and voice, were 40% higher than by email, and IBM reports deepfake impersonation is now the most common AI enabled attack type.
