Creating a culture of cyber security awareness

21 Nov 2025

As technology evolves and cyber threats, especially those powered by AI and social engineering, become more sophisticated, it is important that companies are educating their employees on safer cyber security practices.

To ensure that Intertek colleagues around the world are constantly developing their cyber security awareness, we run several training and knowledge-sharing initiatives.

Every quarter, our Global Cyber Security Team launches a new Intertek Security Awareness Training course, which all employees are expected to complete. The training, which is available in a variety of languages, focuses on key cyber security themes and blends education with assessment modules to ensure understanding. We monitor and report on the annual completion rate of this training, which allows us to identify areas for increased attention.  

For more frequent and flexible messaging, our President, Information Security shares a Cyber Security Monthly Bulletin with all colleagues through email and our corporate intranet. The bulletin covers a range of important issues – from artificial intelligence and common cyber threats to multi-factor authentication and password security – enabling our global Global Cyber Security Team to communicate quickly and clearly on urgent, trending or emerging topics.
