Beyond Blue Reaches Major Milestone in Cybersecurity Training
In a notable achievement for cybersecurity, Beyond Blue, a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has successfully implemented its specialized phishing attack training service, KIS Mailmon, in over 100 regional financial institutions. This milestone reflects the growing need for enhanced security measures in the financial sector, where the protection of sensitive information is crucial.
The Importance of Cyber Training in Financial Institutions
The financial sector, which includes banks and credit unions, handles substantial amounts of private data and is under immense pressure to maintain public trust. As cyber attacks continue to evolve, especially through sophisticated phishing attempts, the need for effective training and awareness among employees has never been more critical. Recognizing this, Beyond Blue partnered with KIS Security to roll out KIS Mailmon in 2023. This initiative aims to bolster the overall defense mechanisms within organizations and enhance employees' cybersecurity awareness.
What Makes KIS Mailmon Unique
KIS Mailmon stands out as a highly effective and cost-efficient training service, developed in-house by Beyond Blue. It offers a diverse range of over 300 training scenarios that cover various attack patterns, allowing institutions to tailor the training to their specific needs. Users can customize the training emails to closely resemble actual phishing attempts, making the training immersive and practical. Additionally, the platform includes options for email sender settings and personalized name insertion in the email body, further enhancing the training experience.
Beyond Blue not only provides this integral service but also offers consulting to help address their clients' specific cybersecurity challenges, thereby ensuring that businesses are not just trained, but also equipped to face real-world threats.
