There with you all the way...

The team at Spear Shield will work with you to gain an understanding of your core business drivers and we'll help exceed your cybersecurity goals together.


Once we've got an understanding of the risk in your business, we'll help you understand the business impact, quantify the risk and provide consultative recommendations on how best to articulate the findings to the rest of your business.


Let's get started

Articulating Risk in a language that your board will understand.

Too many times have we heard 'well what revenue will this investment generate for the business?'. Demonstrable return on investment and the ability to report on your organisations cyber risk posture at any given moment is important.


Whether that's:

  • Slashing user click rates on managed phishing simulations
  • Enhancing security operations with 24/7 threat hunting and response
  • Stopping near-miss human error email data breaches
  • The ability to respond to a cyber incident

The team at Spear Shield will enable you to confidently communicate risk with your business and achieve commercial sign-off to help keep your network, your people and your data secure.

What are some of the top cybersecurity threats for 2023?

Here are some of the top cybersecurity threats organisations are facing in 2023. 

Social Engineering
Any network is hackable if an employee can be duped into sharing access.


Third-Party Exposure
Vendors, clients, and app integrations with poor security can provide access to an otherwise well-protected network.


Configuration Mistakes
Your cybersecurity investments are only as strong as they are configured correctly.


Human Activated Risk
User education and visibility for IT is essential to ensure those with network access and those handling sensitive data are maintaining cyber best practices.


Ransomware
Hackers are targeting back-ups and using extortion more and more to push receiving the ransom payment from their victims.


Mobile Devices
Every mobile device is a gateway to your network and sensitive business data.


Lack of resource and expertise
Human-led cyber attacks require human-led threat hunting. Unfortunately, skilled threat hunters are few and far between. 


Internet of Things (IoT)
Smart technology users may not realise that any IoT device can be hacked to obtain network access. Securing your network starts with understanding what's on it.

Is there any obligation when opting for a free cybersecurity service by Spear Shield?

No there isn't! The team will just use that as an opportunity for us to work together on a project and prove the value we can provide you as a future strategic partner.

How can I reduce my employees click-rate?

This is an area where the cybersecurity experts at Spear Shield thrive! We've worked with organisations to help reduce employee click rates from 70+% to 0% without the need for any end-user awareness training.

Online training content doesn't work.


Classroom based training gets forgotten.


Static email banners get ignored.


Speak with the team about real-time end-user awareness training to help mitigate the risk of a phishing attack in your organisation.
