The Human Firewall — Why Security Awareness Training Is Non-Negotiable
🧠 Security Awareness Training: Build Your Human Firewall
You’ve invested in strong passwords, firewalls, endpoint protection — maybe even AI-powered threat detection.
But here’s the truth:
Your biggest cyber risk isn’t tech. It’s people.
One careless click on a phishing email or a shared password can take everything down. That’s why Security Awareness Training is essential.
At Covenant Defence, we help businesses turn their teams from security liabilities into your strongest line of defence — your human firewall.
💥 Why Cybersecurity Training Matters More Than Ever
In today’s threat landscape:
🔺 90% of breaches start with human error
🎭 Social engineering is rapidly growing
🎯 People, not just machines, are the main targets
That “Microsoft login alert”? Phishing trap.
That “supplier invoice”? Ransomware.
That “urgent email”? Social engineering.

It’s more than a checkbox or boring slideshow.
Effective training:
✅ Engages regularly
✅ Simulates real-world attacks
