From Weakest Link to Cyber Shield: ESET Launches Awareness Training in Singapore

  • ESET launches ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training in Singapore, helping local businesses to avoid breaches resulting from human error. 
  • ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training helps meet Singapore’s Cyber Essentials Mark, NIS2, HIPAA, PCI, SOX, GDPR, and CCPA compliance requirements, as well as insurance requirements.
  • This online educational and testing source puts 30 years of cybersecurity experience into a comprehensive training solution delivering innovative and engaging content for organisations of all sizes.

Singapore — 13 August 2025 ESET, a global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced the launch of ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training in Singapore, a comprehensive online resource to educate, test, and improve cyber resilience of employees.

With this offering, ESET responds to one of the main problems for business owners — low cybersecurity skills among employees that can lead to costly breaches and reputation losses. At the same time, ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training helps organisations meet compliance and insurance requirements.  Employee education is the number 1 factor that reduces the cost of a breach and 68% of breaches involve a human element, social engineering or an error.

The launch comes at a critical time as Singapore’s critical infrastructure continues to face persistent threats from advanced attacks that could lead to operational disruptions, economic losses, and loss of trust in Singapore’s digital ecosystem. With higher incidence of Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks reported by small and medium-seized businesses (SMB) than regional peers, it is becoming increasingly essential for businesses here to bolster their cybersecurity posture to defend against the expanding threat landscape.

“At ESET, we believe that building a cyber resilient organisation starts with well-informed employees,” said Parvinder Walia, President of the Asia Pacific region at ESET. “Our Cybersecurity Awareness Training is designed to change behaviour through interactive content, gamification, and real-world cybersecurity insights. Backed by over 30 years of research and hands-on training expertise, it equips employees at every level with the knowledge they need to stay secure.”

Businesses can reinforce the training using realistic phishing attack simulations via the phishing simulator. This tool helps organizations to run an unlimited number of phishing tests using hundreds of regularly updated templates or to create their own simulation. The phishing simulator thus allows companies to test their employees with real-world scenarios and adjust their training plans accordingly.

Key features of ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training include:

  • Interactive Training: Uses gamification and real-world scenarios to make learning engaging and impactful.
  • Phishing Simulation: Allows deployment of realistic phishing campaigns using prebuilt or custom templates.
  • Smart Reporting & Compliance: Real-time tracking, dashboards, and detailed reports to monitor progress and meet compliance needs.
  • Seamless Integration: Works with LMS, SSO, CRMs, and HR systems for easy deployment in existing environments.
  • Regulatory Alignment: Supports requirements such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and NIS2.

ESET also reduced all necessary IT administration duties typically associated with employees’ trainings to a minimum. The deployment is easy thanks to deep integrations with many popular third-party, cloud-based services, and a full API. Whether employees are using Learning Management Systems (LMS), Single-Sign-On (SSO), Customer Relationship Management Systems (CRMS), or Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), ESET can sync with businesses’ existing workflows.

An easy-to-use dashboard gives IT admins an overview of available courses, statistics about employees’ training progress, and phishing campaign simulation results. Admins also can organise employees in specific customisable groups so they can prepare campaigns and training enrollments tailored to the needs of both employees and their superiors. 

All these features follow the ESET commitment to a prevention-first strategy that combines attack surface minimisation and reduction of the cyber defense complexity. ESET Cybersecurity Awareness Training covers most human-related attack vectors, and its smooth deployment and management help to keep cybersecurity simple.
