As cyber threats travel at the speed of light, the user becomes the last bastion of corporate security
THE WEAK LINK IN THE CHAIN
In 2020, cyber attacks in the world increased by 12%, the global value of the damage suffered amounting to 2 times the GDP of the whole of Italy. 10% of these attacks exploited Covid19, an issue with high emotional and media impact. In this context, where no technological solution can guarantee adequate reliability in protecting one’s data, the last bastion left to defend organizations is the user, who unfortunately is almost always also the weak link in the chain.
THE CLIENT.
A family history of intersecting people and orchards, of Italian recipes and wisdom, since 1890. When Ernest August and Maria Zuech, began growing fruit together with their 14 children on the farm in Lana d’Adige, little did they know that the history of their orchards would reach so far. Founded in 1890 by a family that grew up among its trees, learning to understand their times, rhythms and laws, Zuegg is today an international group present with production plants in 4 countries (Italy/Germany/Russia/France) and 2 sales offices (Switzerland/Austria). A large company specializing in fruit processing, with 570 employees and still many stories to tell.
THE CHALLENGE.
Improve the organization’s security level by investing in user training. An increasingly challenging environment and the exponential growth of cyber threats convince Zuegg to strengthen its defense perimeter by investing in new cybersecurity projects. Thus, in 2019, an assessment path begins that highlights the need to fill a knowledge gap for users who are users of the company’s information systems by initiating specific training paths. Zuegg strongly believes in this path and decides that its employees will not be the weak link in the security chain but the first corporate defenders against external threats.
THE SOLUTION.
Zuegg entrusts Eurosystem with a managed service mode security awareness program.
“We recognized in the proposition made by Eurosystem the most suitable solution aligned to our needs, appreciating the innovative contribution of the ProofPoint Security Awareness Training platform, the delivery in managed service mode, and the training approach in e-learning, preferred to classic classroom training both for organizational reasons but also for the didactic, flexible and dynamic cut that best lends itself to the working needs of the various groups of our users,” comments Tecla Geremia, Chief Information Officer of Zuegg SpA.
