Case Study: EP Produzione strengthens remote working security with Cyber Guru training

EP Production - Customer Case Study

EP Production, the fifth-largest electricity producer in Italy, faced a significant cybersecurity challenge due to the rapid shift to remote working during the pandemic. This transition expanded the attack surface for cybercriminals, as employees operated from less secure home networks and were more vulnerable to social engineering attacks like phishing. To address this human factor risk, the company partnered with Cyber Guru.

Cyber Guru implemented a comprehensive, multi-year security awareness training program for EP Production employees. The solution focused on practical examples and simple language, with a particular emphasis on identifying phishing attempts. This initiative was highly successful, achieving a 90% employee participation rate. By turning its staff into a first line of defense, the company significantly reduced its risk of cyberattacks stemming from human error.
