ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training arrives in Australia

ESET has launched ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training in Australia, an online resource to educate, test, and improve cyber resilience of employees.

Businesses can reinforce the training using realistic phishing attack simulations via the phishing simulator. This tool helps organisations to run an unlimited number of phishing tests using hundreds of regularly updated templates or to create their own simulation. 

Due to deep integrations with many popular third-party, cloud-based services, and a full API, the training can be deployed onto Learning Management Systems (LMS), Single-Sign-On (SSO), Customer Relationship Management Systems (CRMs), or Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) and sync with businesses’ existing workflows.

A dashboard gives IT admins an overview of available courses, statistics about employees’ training progress, and phishing campaign simulation results. Admins also can organise employees in specific customisable groups so they can prepare campaigns and training enrollments tailored to the needs of both employees and their superiors. 

All these features follow the ESET commitment to a prevention-first strategy that combines attack surface minimisation and reduction of the cyber defense complexity. 

In Australia, human error accounts for 30% of reported data breaches, making it the second leading cause after malicious or criminal attacks, according to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

ESET's president of the Asia Pacific region, Parvinder Walia, said the Cybersecurity Awareness Training is designed to change behaviour through interactive content, gamification, and real-world cybersecurity insights.

"Backed by over 30 years of research and hands-on training expertise, it equips employees at every level with the knowledge they need to stay secure," said Walia.
