CyberClear Academy

What is the Hiscox CyberClear Academy?

An online interactive suite of cyber security training modules included as part of our Cyber and data insurance policies. The suite is for our customers to use for their employees, it is designed to reduce the risk of a cyber incident occuring.

In Europe under the new General Data Protection Regulation, due to come into force in May 2018, organisations must implement ‘appropriate technical and organisational measures’ to protect the data they hold and process. Our claims data showed that 67% of cyber claims in 2017 involved human error. With staff being prone to phishing and social engineering attacks that can result in data breaches, cyber security awareness training can prevent such attacks from succeeding, and help a company to demonstrate that appropriate measures are in place.

Training relevant to individual levels of cyber awareness

The training is composed of four learning pathways. At the beginning of each pathway, employees take a brief assessment to test their existing knowledge. If an employee passes the assessment, they are not required to undertake the corresponding training module. This ensures the training they receive is bespoke and tailored to the gaps in their knowledge, and prevents employees from having to complete unnecessary learning.
