Information security starts with well-trained employees

Join us in the fight against threats such as phishing, social engineering and other cyber attacks! ML Gruppe supports companies in strengthening the security of their IT systems and sensitizing employees to potential risks through targeted training and awareness measures.

In addition to a solid IT infrastructure with firewalls, security updates and hardware solutions, well-trained staff are the key to defending against cyber attacks. Our practical training courses provide the necessary skills to protect your company and your data. Employees learn how hackers operate, how to navigate the network safely and what dangers they face in everyday life.

Our modular Awareness World

With the security tools in our Awareness World, we offer all the tools your employees need to optimally secure your company from a single source, so that your workforce acts as a “personal firewall” and supports IT security measures.

Basic cover to full service

Whether you want to take the first effective step against phishing attacks via email or leave the educational responsibility for your entire awareness in your organization to us: You’ve come to the right place.

Modularly expandable

All our Awareness World services can be extended and expanded in a modular fashion to suit your needs. Always adapted to the status quo of your information security.

Always in focus: learning and raising awareness! How do I stay safe online, how do hackers operate, where are the dangers in everyday life – all of this must be learned and repeated regularly. This is the only way to secure IT and employees in the long term.

Three steps to company-wide information security

How deeply is the topic of information security already embedded in your company? ML Gruppe targets the level of training that your employees need. The three-stage Awareness World system comes with suitable tools and learning methods. The focus is on fun learning and experience.

Stage 1: Creating awareness through awareness essentials

They create the background noise of information security that every company and every organization needs. We use exciting formats to sensitize employees to potential vulnerabilities – from hacking to phishing.

Online live hacking

What actually happens when employees accidentally open an infected file in their email program or fall victim to a cyberattack? Take a live look over the shoulders of our hackers and see in an entertaining way what happens in the background during a hacker attack and where the dangers lie in everyday business life.

E-learning

Learning by doing – with measurable success! The digital learning media at ML Gruppe are fun and encourage interaction with the subject area. This measurably increases employees’ learning success. You can find out more about the e-learning courses at ML Gruppe here.

Newsletter + Secutorial

Out of sight, out of mind? Not thanks to our newsletters and video tutorials. They cover entertaining topics from the world of information security, which you can then send to your company network via e-mail. For us, the focus is on making the secutorials entertaining. Because an “infomail” is only good if it is read and understood.

Example live hacking event

Here we show your employees and information security officers how hackers operate in an exciting and entertaining live demonstration and take a look behind the scenes of cyber attacks. Current attack methods are demonstrated in a clear and understandable way – from infection by encryption Trojans to cracking passwords and intercepting data in public WLANs. In this way, we sensitize your team to how quickly a “wrong click” can become a danger, promote security awareness and provide valuable tips to help you stay one step ahead of cyber attacks in the future.

Stage 2: Deepening knowledge and first simulations

Is awareness no longer a foreign concept in your organization? Then consolidate your employees’ knowledge through our extended measures and give them the opportunity to deal with the topic continuously and through a wide variety of channels.

Phishing tool

We use prepared phishing emails – 100% anonymous and secure – to simulate an emergency and train your employees effectively and measurably on all aspects of information security. Our aim is for every employee to recognize and report fake emails in advance. In addition to the phishing tool, we also provide suitable e-learning courses and learning modules to suit your industry and your employees – including appropriate recommendations for action.

Internal awareness marketing

Information security should inspire and be present at all times. Continuous discussion of the topic is unavoidable if you want to achieve a change in behavior among your employees. Our awareness marketing supports you, for example in the form of films, posters or your own security logo, to make the topic prominent in your organization

Manager sensitization

The topic of information security will only become permanently established in your company if the management team is aware of its importance. To this end, we offer short events that are individually tailored to your managers. In this way, top management becomes an advocate for information security.

Level 3: Pro Awareness

Special requirements call for special measures. Our Awareness Pro tools are designed to close specific gaps in the security system. For example, our social pentests challenge human risk factors and our ISMS consulting is aimed at the CISO or CIO who wants a sparring partner at eye level.

ISMS consulting

With the help of ML Gruppe, your company can implement a management system that is specially adapted to your circumstances and independently ensure the quality of information security. From conception to implementation: our security experts analyse your status quo and support you on your individual path towards a secure organization.

Social Pentest

We test your organization for human security gaps beyond your IT. Using simulated and targeted attacks, such as an inspection of your offices as a “supposed employee or craftsman”, we help you to identify the human risk factors in your company and provide you with information on the extent to which information security is already practised in your organization.

Emergency drill

We train your employees for emergencies. With the help of our customized emergency drills, you are optimally prepared if you do become the target of a hacker attack. To this end, we analyse the maturity level of your emergency management and systematically adapt our exercises to the individual situation of your organization.
