Companies collaborate to offer training designed to improve
awareness about evolving cyber threats and decrease human error
The Hartford has partnered with Mimecast, an email and data
security company, to offer Mimecast™ Awareness Training services to
help its customers reduce the risk of a cybersecurity incident
before it occurs.
“Cyberattacks continue to evolve and are becoming more
sophisticated,” said Tim Marlin, head of cyber underwriting at The
Hartford. “Increasingly, employees are targets of complex phishing
and social engineering attempts and may inadvertently cause damage
by responding to an email that looked real to them. Staying on top
of these trends and providing employees with the knowledge to
identify these types of threats can go a long way in protecting a
business from ransomware, a cyber crime or a data breach.”
The Mimecast Awareness Training incorporates some humor into the
content to help employers educate their employees about serious
topics such as ransomware, phishing, wire fraud, password hygiene
and more. The training includes video content as well as real-world
phishing simulations and remediation for employees.
The training is available at no charge to select customers who
have The Hartford’s CyberChoice First Response Policy SM and is
available at a 20 percent discount to any other policyholder of The
Hartford.
“While having technology-based cybersecurity solutions in place
is critical, organizations must also educate their last line of
defense – their employees,” said Michael Madon, senior vice
president of security awareness products at Mimecast. “We are proud
to partner with The Hartford to help their customers manage their
business risk and extend our mission of helping customers become
more cyber resilient.”

Cyber Center, a digital cyber risk management portal that provides
customers with tools, training materials, and best practices
suggestions to further help mitigate the risk of a cyber
incident.
