CyberShield Academy

Business management has never relied on digital technologies as heavily as it does today. This rapid and often complex transformation requires constant adaptation. 

To remain competitive while ensuring data security and business continuity, it is essential to master these changes.

A real and growing threat

In Switzerland, cyberattacks are on the rise. In 2024, the Federal Office for Cybersecurity (OFCS) received an incident report every 8.5 minutes. Phishing, ransomware, scams—businesses of all sizes are affected. Each attack poses a risk to your sensitive data, reputation, and operations.

The data is clear:

• 82% of data breaches involve human error (Verizon).
• Regular awareness training can reduce phishing attacks by up to 75% (KnowBe4).
• 78.5% of companies say they’ve avoided incidents thanks to employee training (Hornet Security).
• Some organizations report up to 500% ROI from cybersecurity training (ISACA Journal).

A tailored solution: RSM CyberShield Academy

In response, RSM Switzerland has developed CyberShield Academy—a comprehensive, scalable cybersecurity awareness program designed for organizations of all sizes and digital maturity levels.

Our services include:

• Interactive training sessions (online or in-person)
• Tailored phishing simulations
• Dark web monitoring to detect data breaches
• Ongoing review and updates of internal security policies

We offer three flexible packages—Starter, Standard, and Premium—each providing different levels of coverage, with optional add-ons to maximize training impact.

Train to protect

Our digital platform tracks employee engagement and progress across key cybersecurity topics. For those who prefer in-person learning, we offer 4-hour workshops led by seasoned experts. These sessions cover practical topics such as:

• Cyber hygiene
• Social engineering and phishing prevention
• Password management
• Incident response

Every program is customized to your company’s needs and industry.
