ABP Food Group

challenge

Certain security requirements are common to the whole company (such as compliance to the UK’s GDPR data privacy legislation), but ABP needed its four divisions to brand and tailor the awareness training for their specific needs.

As it continues to grow, ABP regularly acquires additional food producers and new employees must be incorporated in the awareness program quickly and effectively.

As employee awareness is only one aspect of cyber protection, the program needed to be managed as part of ABP’s overall cyber security strategy.

SOLUTION

Tectrade designed a cyber defence program that allows ABP to implement security awareness, phishing simulation and threat detection to deliver maximum protection against email compromise and ransomware.

A three-year engagement includes the Cofense cloud-native phishing detection and response platform managed by Tectrade’s Security Operations Center (SOC).

Each year, four training modules are administered together with testing and reporting. Phishing simulations are executed annually to measure the effectiveness of the program.

Each ABP division is able to brand its own program, choosing from over 20 different training modules to customise the content for its particular conditions. This results in a realistic environment for training, testing and simulated attacks.

outcomes

Tectrade successfully implemented the cyber awareness program across all ABP divisions with strategic partner Cofense. Training modules have been rolled out to all employees and simulations planned to verify the impact.

Since the Tectrade cyber awareness program has been introduced, ABP has acquired four new food producers and all new employees have been inducted into the program.

Tectrade is supporting ABP to expand its cyber defences with a Managed Detection and Response solution together with Alert Logic. The MDR service provides rapid response to threats and is managed by the Tectrade SOC on a 24×7 basis.
