Bluefin Resources has been connecting candidates to specialist employers for over twenty years, fostering a culture where teamwork meets individual growth to evolve career success.

With an awareness of the ever-present cyber threats looming behind Australian businesses, Bluefin understood the stakes: one innocent click on a phishing email, or a weak password choice could compromise the entire organisation. While Bluefin recognised the necessity for cyber security upgrades to protect their organisation’s integrity, they were uncertain about the best approach to increase their defences.

The challenges

Recommendation

As Bluefin’s managed service provider, Ericom understands their existing technology infrastructure, and so we recommended a cyber security training program to address Bluefin’s specific challenges and elevate their staff’s security awareness.

Project

Ericom responded to Bluefin’s needs by implementing a comprehensive cyber security training program. From initial consultation to full deployment, the training was ready within 2 weeks and involved minimal effort from Bluefin as Ericom streamlined the delivery process within the existing infrastructure.

The online training format allowed staff to complete modules at their own convenience, minimising disruptions. Ongoing evaluations executed in quarterly cycles supports the team’s ability to remember the information long term.

Results

Phishing resilience

Time savings

Bluefin’s phishing failure rate dropped significantly, positioning them in the top 25% globally for security awareness. Innovative setup saved 440 hours in staff training time compared to face-to-face training.

Compliance assurance

Bluefin meets third-party requirements by demonstrating robust security measures during assessments, showing their commitment to data protection.
