74% of security incidents are due to the human factor

Perhaps it's the temp falling victim to a clever phish and sharing their username and password, or an overworked IT engineer misconfiguring a system, the busy care worker losing a device between home visits, or you yourself accidentally deleting files (we've all done it).

So why is it that so many organisations spend hundreds and thousands on whizz bang technical solutions from suppliers that give false promises? 

If organisations want to reduce the chance of a cybersecurity incident or a costly data breach, they need to invest in their people and processes, as well as in their technology.

An effective cybersecurity education, training, and awareness program is fundamental to an organisation’s capability to reduce their level of human risk on cybersecurity.

Introducing CybilityXP, our playful approach to reducing human risk.

With our CybilityXP services you’ll:

  • Reduce the level of human risk;
  • Increase employee satisfaction and retention;
  • Increase staff adherence to your cybersecurity procedures;
  • Increase the organisation's ability to detect and respond to threats;
  • Be able to flex the level and type of services as your organisation's needs change.

    Our H.A.C.C.E.R. Principles

    Our training approach is centred around our H.A.C.C.E.R. principles, which ensure that our training is Human-centric, Active, focused on Changing behaviour, Customised, Engaging, and Rationale.


    Our training isn't just about improving security skills; it's also about teaching people skills they can use in their own lives.   We understand that people are the biggest attack vector, so we train them to be more security-conscious at home and at work.

    We use simulation to help our trainees build muscle memory and get hands-on experience that adds to what they already know. We add their feedback to the content to keep them interested and make sure they learn on their own. Our training focuses on developing habits and processes around behaviours, and stories help make sense of the content and improve retention.

    Ticking boxes gives the impression of protection. Information alone cannot change behaviour. Instead, we evoke emotions with stories about security failures. We emphasise behaviour change rather than information.

    We customise training for each client. We recognise that some training can be disconnected from our trainees' daily jobs, which can lead to disengagement. We collect data from and for the organisation to make training relevant and applicable.

    Our training is set up like a game, so you can be playful without worrying about making mistakes.

    It is a well-known fact that students learn more when they are interested and having fun. Our lessons are fun, interactive, and have a point. They are done in groups, are repeated, and encourage healthy competition between students.

    We make certain that our trainees understand the ‘why’ of the training.

    We question them about why they do or do not do certain things, what they already know, and how it relates to their roles.

    We recognise that changing behaviour takes time and requires consistent reinforcement. To reinforce good habits and prevent relapse, we ensure that our training is repeatable. We take a methodical approach to our H.A.C.C.E.R. principles.

    Each client receives a programme that is tailored to their specific needs, is interactive, and focuses on long-term behaviour change.
