Security Awareness for HR
Train HR to spot recruitment scams, malicious resumes, and CEO fraud. Learn safe document handling and data sharing with practical HR scenarios.
Why HR Needs Specialized Security Training
HR departments handle some of the most sensitive data within an organisation, including personal employee information, contracts, payroll details, and internal communications. This makes HR a prime target for attackers who exploit trust, workload, and human routines.
Attacks often abuse familiar HR processes. Common examples include fake job applications with malicious CVs, impersonation of executives requesting employee data, or social-engineering techniques that rely on urgency and empathy. These attacks are usually well-crafted, context-aware, and difficult to distinguish from legitimate communication.
Generic security awareness is not sufficient in this context. HR professionals need targeted training that reflects their daily responsibilities, decision points, and communication flows. Through realistic scenarios and recognisable examples, HR teams learn to spot warning signs earlier, verify requests correctly, and report incidents in time, without slowing down their core operations.
