IT.ie launches gamified cybersecurity awareness training

IT.ie, the Irish IT managed services company, coinciding with Cybersecurity Awareness Month, announces the launch of a new gamified cybersecurity awareness training in a bid to help businesses to tackle the increasing risk of cyberattacks. The service, which keeps employees on their toes by simulating real cyberattacks, reflects a growing use of gamification by organisations globally and across multiple industries to drive user engagement and business success. A study conducted by TalentLMS found that gamification increases engagement levels during cybersecurity training by 70%. New regulations, including NIS2 and DORA, are resulting in ensuring that businesses are much more accountable for cybersecurity. Minimising the risk posed by employees will therefore help to reduce the success of attacks. This will save businesses money through decreased insurance premiums, as well as any money that may be paid as ransom. Human error currently accounts for 90% of data breach incidents. IT.ie's gamified solution aims to reduce that risk by creating an engaging experience which encourages employees to maintain and upskill their cyber-resistance. This is essential as hackers continue to barrage organisations and their employees with attempted attacks using methods such as phishing, social engineering, malware, ransomware, and spoofing. IT.ie's solution begins with a gap analysis, which identifies areas where individuals may be vulnerable and require improvement such as awareness of phishing tactics, or effective password management. The result of the analysis allows IT.ie to create a personalised training path for each user to strengthen the areas where they are weakest. These training paths feed into Learn.IT, which involves digestible, interactive sessions designed to be engaging, allowing employees to develop their knowledge in manageable increments without significant disruption to their daily workflow. The gamification comes into play with the Phish.IT element of the solution, which regularly targets employees with realistic phishing attempts to test their recognition, awareness, and response to threats. These simulated attempts mean that employees can get practical use out of the skills they have developed through the training. As employees engage with the solution, this feeds into an overall company risk score. Over time, businesses and their employees can see the benefits that the training is having as their score decreases. This measurement of success also helps to create a sense of collective responsibility and a positive cybersecurity culture within organisations. Eamon Gallagher, founder and managing director, IT.ie, said: "Through experience, we know that the journey a business takes in developing a coherent cybersecurity strategy is not achieved overnight, and employees are the last line of defence in terms of the cyber threat landscape. Our Cyber Awareness Training & Phishing simulation platform paves the way for organisations to invest in their people so as to ensure the development of a robust and healthy cyber security culture. Our goal is to create an experience that is personalised, easily consumable and not overly disruptive from other important day-to-day tasks." See more stories here.

Every October, Cybersecurity Awareness Month provides an important reminder to everyone to review their cyber behavior. One of the most important things you can do is to make sure you keep up with software updates – those regular patches that plug newly discovered security holes that cyber criminals can and will use to attack your systems. Watch out for notifications in your web browser, antivirus and security software, and operating system that new versions are available, and accept the updates as soon as you can. You should also turn on automatic updates where possible, so that your operating systems and mobile applications are always up to date – keeping them secure and also giving you access to the latest features. If you're using company equipment or devices, your IT team will probably handle many updates for you – but they aren't likely to touch your home devices, including routers and security cameras that you should also update to avoid their being compromised. Remember: to stay secure, update early, update quickly, and update everything. The 60-second "Security Nudge" is brought to you by CybSafe, developers of the Human Risk Management Platform.

[2:20] Other dates for the Fall and Winter are available on the Virtual Workshops calendar, RIMS.org/virtualworkshops. [2:28] Interview! My guest today, Chris Willey, is the Vice President of Enterprise Risk Management at American Eagle Financial Credit Union. In 2023, her ERM program received a RIMS ERM Global Award of Distinction. We didn't get to connect last year to discuss it. [2:49] We're here now, and we will learn all about Chris Willey's ERM philosophies, how American Eagle FCU handles certain risks, and what their risk register looks like. We will also get some tips for staying cyber secure, as October is International Cybersecurity Awareness Month. [3:06] Chris Willey, welcome to RIMScast! Congratulations again for your ERM program being one of the honorees of the 2023 RIMS ERM Global Award of Distinction! [3:51] Chris started at the credit union 34 years ago in Internal Audits where she got to see and understand the entire organization. In 1998, the board of directors started a risk management department. Chris applied and got the job. [4:25] At first, they worked on traditional risk management, including insurance and fraud. Over the years, they added responsibilities. ERM was the last piece they added to their risk management repertoire, 14 years ago. [4:56] Around the time of the housing crisis, one of the credit union's high-risk areas, the board asked Chris to create an ERM program. Credit union regulators were also instrumental in starting ERM. While not required, having an ERM program is necessary to understand your risks. [6:26] Chris has one staff member, Theresa, the Assistant Vice President, who helps with all facets of risk management. Chris and Theresa do a lot. Chris says it would be nice to have another person helping them. [7:28] After the Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in March 2023, the interest rate risk and liquidity risk got a lot of attention. American Eagle FCU was on top of it. Their interest rate risk was increasing and the ERM program had already begun taking measures to thwart risk. [8:10] American Eagle had scaled back some of their lending and beefed up their liquidity because of what happened on the West Coast. That helped put them in a great spot. [8:44] The regulators had come down hard on them and American Eagle did a lot of things to prove that they were going to be OK. The regulators are the insurers so wanted to make sure American Eagle had enough liquidity in case something happened like that at the credit union. [9:04] It was a lot of work. The CFO and others in the organization put in additional monitoring tools. That's what the ERM program does. It says, “Hey, we've got a potential issue or higher risk.” It's a call to action to ask, "What are we going to do differently to mitigate the risk?" [9:37] American Eagle's interest rate risk is still trending a little bit higher but it's under control and being monitored. The regulators gave them a great pass last year and are working on this year's audit. [10:12] When the American Eagle FCU ERM program was awarded the 2023 RIMS ERM Award of Distinction, regulators were thrilled. The board of directors was very happy to hear of it at a board meeting. The Risk Council Team was also thrilled and felt they were on the right track. [11:11] The award came at a good time for the ERM program. Since then, American Eagle has had a few new executive leaders. The ERM program team is educating the risk council on what ERM is and the nine risk categories, definitions, KRIs, and what they should keep or change. [12:43] American Eagle is getting to the point of putting new KRIs in place to see where they land with the risk ratings. They are asking if their risk tolerance or appetite should be increased. American Eagle FCU has been risk-averse. You can take calculated risks with an ERM program. [13:41] If the risk gets to be above your expectations, you can try to reel it back to a more manageable level. [14:04] American Eagle FCU is growing in its assets and also in its team members. The ERM program is adding a People Risk category to help create a culture that's engaging. The board of directors is excited to see what that will look like. [14:39] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On October 24th, Hub International returns for the fourth installment of their Ready for Tomorrow series, “From AI to the SEC: The Future of D&O Litigation and Regulatory Exposures”. [14:56] On October 31st, TÜV SÜD GRC discusses “Mastering Property Renewals: Strategies for Success in 2025 with Risk Engineering”. On November 4th, I will be hosting a special RIMS Webinar presentation, “Lessons from Veterans on Strategic Risk Leadership”.

The link is in this episode's notes. [16:58] Back to My Interview with Chris Willey of American Eagle FCU! The nine risk categories of American Eagle's ERM program are credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, transaction risk, compliance risk, concentration risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, and cyber risk. [17:44] American Eagle FCU started with the seven NCUA risks, and as cybercrime became prevalent, they added a category for cyber risk. When NCUA sent a letter on concentration risk, American Eagle FCU added a category for concentration risk. The people risk is upcoming. [18:32] Now all risks are counted equally, but they may start looking at weighted averages. That is still TBD. [19:25] American Eagle FCU has from 335 to 350 team members. The credit union is state-charted in Connecticut. They have members in Massachusetts but no branches in that state. They have no plans to charter in other states. [20:35] American Eagle FCU is trying to manage everything with a balanced approach, taking on more risk than before, and moving toward the center of the risk spectrum. The initiatives of their strategic plan involve a certain amount of risk and it will be OK. [21:34] To start an ERM program from scratch in 2024 you need executive buy-in. The tone from the top is important. American Eagle FCU started at the management level and once it was running well, they brought the board of directors into it. [22:01] Chris explains how strategic initiatives, projects, budgets, finances, and reputation were KRI measures that were reported to the board twice a year. [22:52] Two of the three 2023 honorees of distinction, American Eagle FCU and Sterling Bank and Trust, are in the banking sector, which speaks to what ERM can do for banking. [23:21] With interest rates as they are, it's a good idea for a bank to have an ERM program to help navigate these times, whether interest rates are going up or down. Risk management is very basic to every financial institution, whether or not it is ERM. [24:36] Justin remembers that there was no risk manager at Silicon Valley Bank. RIMS believes that every organization, regardless of its size, should have a dedicated risk professional. Chris thought at the time there were going to be a lot of risk management positions opening up. [25:36] It is prudent to have a risk professional. They bring insight to your thinking that you may never have considered. The American Eagle FCU ERM program uses Key Risk Indicators. You want leading KRIs to pinpoint problems that are up and coming. Look forward, not back. [26:29] ERM can help the risk profession greatly. In the cyber area, everyone has data they need to protect. If you have an ERM program looking at some of the risks in the cyber area, you might be able to create a better environment and protect against all the threats out there. [27:08] Threats are not going to stop. They will continue to get worse. American Eagle ERM makes decisions based on its ERM program. They do business-level risk assessments to help business owners understand how to stay within their risk tolerance level. [27:51] ERM is language and knowledge from which every organization can benefit. [27:57] October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. American Eagle FCU has participated in Cybersecurity Awareness Month for over a decade to educate team members on all kinds of cybersecurity issues and threats. [28:38] This year, the theme is Willy Wonka, with cyber security videos and activities for interactive learning. They issue their security training for the year for all team members. They also educate members with tips on social media, their newsletter, and their website. [29:45] American Eagle FCU is holding a fraud symposium for members. October at American Eagle FCU is a fun time. The CFO dresses as WIlly Wonka and the ERM team members are Oompa Loompas. They do short videos throughout the month about what's coming up. [31:41] Chris, it is wonderful to see you. I appreciate all your time and your wonderful insight. It speaks to the banking sector and the broader risk community. There's a lot that our listeners can learn from this episode. Congratulations again on the 2023 RIMS ERM Award of Distinction!

That's what the ERM Program does. It says, “Hey, we've got a potential issue or higher risk.” It's a call to action to ask, "What are we going to do differently to mitigate the risk?" — Chris Willey   It's hard to benchmark one ERM Program to the next. It's different, based on your risk tolerances and the way you run your business. — Chris Willey   If we want to grow, give back to the community, and do all the initiatives we would like to with our strategic plan, we are going to have to take more risk, and it's going to be OK. — Chris Willey   Threats are not going to stop. They are going to continue and get worse. We make decisions based on our ERM program. We do business-level risk assessments and get the business owners involved so they understand what their tolerance levels are. — Chris Willey

  Financial cyber-fraud is a twelve-billion dollar business each year -- all of it illegal. Consumer advocacy banking specialist Blythe Figurelle is among the experts promoting Cyber Security Awareness month during October. Whether its by phone or an electronic message, the fraudsters try to catch you with what she calls "emotional manipulation". Figurelle says it is common for scammers to initiate contact out of the blue, pretend to be a business or person you trust, or add unreasonable urgency. Her advice: If it's a phone call, don't say anything and hang up. If it's on social media, a text or an email -- delete that message, without clicking any links. You may wish to also block that sender or that phone number   On this Family Life News podcast, Figurelle describes the acronym STOP as the four steps you should do, if you suspect a call or a message is not legitimate, or someone pushes you for your account number or other private information: Stay cautious Take your time ... don't be rushed into anything Only trust verified sources Protect your codes and numbers and passwords ... every time   Bonus content: A coalition of law enforcement and governments in Dubai and Emirates put together a clever public service announcement, urging consumers to always protect all of their personal financial data.

In an era where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and devastating, organizations can no longer afford to treat cybersecurity as the sole responsibility of their security teams. This episode of the Pure Report features industry veterans Jason Walker, Tech Strategy Director of Cyber Resilience, and Jason Langer, Tech Evangelist, to explore why cyber resilience must be approached as a team sport, breaking down the traditional silos between IT operations and security teams. Drawing from their extensive experience in data protection and security, the two Jasons delve into the stark realities of cyber impacts, including the sobering statistic that one in five organizations report employee terminations following outages. They examine the NIST Cybersecurity Framework through a collaborative lens, offering insights into how different teams can work together across the five key areas: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Through real-world examples and strategic discussions, listeners will develop a deeper understanding of why alignment between IT leaders and CISOs is crucial for building true cyber resilience. As organizations grapple with evolving threats, this timely discussion during Cybersecurity Awareness Month offers actionable strategies for fostering cross-team collaboration. The episode explores the evolution of cybersecurity conversations over the past five years, provides practical advice for improving security posture through teamwork, and highlights Pure Storage's role in enabling organizations to build robust cyber resilience strategies. Whether you're an IT professional, security specialist, or business leader, this episode provides valuable insights into transforming your organization's approach to cybersecurity from a siloed responsibility to a collaborative effort.
