Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Most cyber breaches start with a human mistake, such as a clicked link, a compromised password, or a fake invoice. PlexxTech Solutions provides professional cybersecurity awareness training designed to turn your employees into your strongest line of defense. Serving accounting firms, law firms, and financial advisors across Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, we help your team recognize, avoid, and respond to today’s most common cyber threats.
The Human Element Is the #1 Cyber Risk
Employees are often the entry point for attacks, which makes ongoing education critical. Our cybersecurity awareness training helps your staff identify and mitigate risks including:
- Phishing and spear-phishing attempts
- Business email compromise (BEC)
- Fake wire-transfer and invoice scams
- Unsafe browsing and credential theft
- Password security and multi-factor authentication (MFA) best practices
Educated employees become proactive defenders, reducing the likelihood of breaches and protecting sensitive client data.
Industry-Specific Training for High-Risk Professional Firms
Different industries face different cyber threats, so generic training isn’t enough. PlexxTech delivers targeted cybersecurity awareness training tailored for firms handling sensitive or confidential information:
Accounting Firms
Recognize tax-season scams, CRA impersonation emails, and QuickBooks phishing attempts.
Law Firms
Identify document interception, case-management system threats, and client confidentiality risks.
Wealth Management
Protect against fraudulent account-access attempts, trading fraud, and identity theft.
By focusing on threats specific to your industry, we ensure your staff learns to detect the exact attacks that target your profession.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is cybersecurity awareness training and why does my team need it?
Cybersecurity awareness training teaches employees to recognize and respond appropriately to cyber threats such as phishing emails, social engineering, suspicious links, and data handling risks. Since human error is involved in over 80% of successful breaches, trained staff are one of your most effective security controls.
What topics does PlexxTech's cybersecurity awareness training cover?
Our training covers phishing recognition and reporting, password hygiene and password manager use, multi-factor authentication best practices, safe browsing and email habits, social engineering tactics, data handling and classification, and what to do if a staff member suspects a breach.
How is PlexxTech's cybersecurity training delivered?
We deliver training through a combination of interactive online modules, simulated phishing campaigns that test real behaviour, and optional in-person or live virtual sessions for your team. Training is engaging, practical, and designed for non-technical staff.
What is a simulated phishing test and should my business use one?
A simulated phishing test sends realistic but harmless fake phishing emails to your team to measure how many employees click malicious links or submit credentials. The results identify who needs additional coaching and establish a baseline to track improvement over time. We recommend this for all businesses.
How often should employees receive cybersecurity awareness training?
At minimum annually, but best practice is quarterly refresher training combined with monthly simulated phishing campaigns. Threat tactics evolve constantly, so regular reinforcement keeps your team’s awareness current and sharp.
Can cybersecurity awareness training help us qualify for cyber insurance?
Yes. Most Canadian cyber insurers require evidence of security awareness training as part of their underwriting criteria. Documented training programmes, phishing simulation results, and participation records all support your cyber insurance application and may help reduce your premium.
How do I measure whether cybersecurity training is working?
Key metrics include phishing simulation click rates over time, the number of suspicious emails reported by staff, and assessment scores before and after training modules. PlexxTech provides detailed reporting so you can demonstrate measurable improvement to leadership or insurers.
Is cybersecurity training suitable for non-technical employees?
Absolutely. Our training is specifically designed for general staff with no IT background. Content is practical, scenario-based, and avoids technical jargon — making it relevant and accessible for everyone from reception staff to senior management.
