Cybersecurity as a strategic issue. Cybersecurity is no longer just a matter for IT departments. Today's attacks primarily target people, their decision-making, and their daily habits.
That is why Pumpedu created the Cybersecurity Academy — a systematic educational program that helps organizations increase their long-term resilience to modern threats.
According to long-term statistics from security companies, more than 80% of successful cyber attacks are linked to human factors — clicking on a fraudulent link, weak passwords, sharing sensitive information, or carelessness when working remotely.
At the same time:
⚠️Ransomware attacks are among the fastest growing types of threats.
⚠️Phishing campaigns are now highly personalized and use publicly available data (OSINT).
⚠️Deepfake technologies allow fraudsters to imitate the voice and appearance of management.
⚠️Attacks are increasingly targeting supply chains and smaller organizations.
Technology is evolving rapidly. So are attackers.
However, security culture often lags behind.
In the past, it was possible to recognize an attack by poor language or a suspicious email address.
Today:
• Attackers use AI tools to create flawless texts.
• Fraudulent websites are visually indistinguishable from the original.
• Social engineering is targeted and based on specific information about employees.
• Hybrid work increases risks (home Wi-Fi, shared devices, public networks).
Cybersecurity is thus shifting from the realm of "IT protection" to that of risk management and corporate culture.
And this is where systematic education makes the most sense.
💡One-off training fulfills a formal obligation.
💡A systematic academy changes behavior.
Regular training brings:
• a demonstrable reduction in the rate of successful phishing attacks
• faster incident detection
• greater willingness of employees to report suspicious situations
• strengthened trust among customers and partners
From a regulatory perspective (e.g., new European cybersecurity requirements), employee training is also a mandatory part of risk management.
Cybersecurity Academy: A structured and sequential program
The Academy is not an isolated workshop. It is a comprehensive educational concept where individual topics logically follow on from one another.
It consists of 12 practical topics covering key areas of cybersecurity:
1. Introduction to cybersecurity and threats
2. Digital identity, passwords, and access
3. Social engineering and manipulation
4. Phishing, vishing, smishing
5. Social networks and digital footprints
6. OSINT and victim reconnaissance
7. Malware and ransomware
8. Devices and endpoints
9. Wi-Fi, networks, and connections
10. Cloud and document sharing
11. Disinformation and deepfakes
12. Incident response for users
Compliance and regulation
The program helps companies meet their obligations under the NIS2 Directive and the Cybersecurity Act, particularly in the areas of training and working with the human factor.
Behavior change – real results
The training is designed to teach not only theory, but above all practical skills and behaviors that reduce the risk of attacks in real-world environments – both at work and in private life.
Operational benefits
The program is flexible, with no restrictions on the number of participants, and can be easily adapted to the size and needs of the organization.
Benefits of the academy
• Increased security awareness among employees
• Real reduction in successful attacks
• Better response to security incidents
• Acquisition of safe habits at work and at home
Statistics show that regular training can significantly reduce the number of successful cyber attacks on employees.
