Businesses are embracing technology and relying more and more on the internet for communication, and so much of what we do as part of our daily life is now online which has resulted in a massive increase in cybercrime.
Phishing continues to be the most common form of attack because of its simplicity, effectiveness and high return on investment. It has evolved from the early days of tricking people with scams such as the ‘Nigerian prince’ scam or requests for emergency medical treatment. The phishing attacks taking place now are sophisticated, targeted and increasingly difficult to spot.
We have partnered with KnowBe4 to provide you with a platform to better manage the urgent IT security problems of social engineering, spear-phishing and ransomware attacks. KnowBe4 is the world’s largest Security Awareness Training and Simulated Phishing platform with over tens of thousands of customers.
KnowBe4’s phishing simulation tool provides phishing security tests that show you the percentage of end users that are phish-prone. Its highly effective, frequent, double-random Phishing Security Tests provide several remedial options in case an employee falls for a simulated phishing attack.
You can schedule regular Phishing Security Tests (PST for short) from its large library of more than 5,000 known-to-work templates or you can also create your own custom phishing templates.
Industry benchmarking features also let you compare your organisation’s prone percentage with other companies in your industry. With regular phishing security tests and training campaigns, you’ll see how your “Human Firewall” improves over time, helping to reduce risk and improve your IT security defences.
Phishing Reply Tracking allows you to track if a user replies to a simulated phishing email and can capture the information sent in the reply. You can also track links clicked by users as well as test and track if users are opening Office attachments and then enabling macros.
In case an employee falls for one of these simulated phishing attacks, you have several options for correction, including instant remedial online training. You can schedule one-shot, weekly, fortnightly or monthly simulated phishing attacks and immediately see which employees fall for these social engineering attacks.
It has been a great pleasure working with Lumina Technologies over the past two years. They have fully committed to being involved in the local community with volunteering and with professional advice and commitment, helping many local charities along the way. As a growing company it proves that being involved in the local community is helping them attract and retain a talented workforce and I look forward to working with them well into the future.

Richard and his team at Lumina have provided Perrett Laver Limited with high quality strategic and practical IT Services for over ten years. During this period, Perrett Laver has grown from 10+ colleagues based in London to nearly 100 colleagues located in six offices across the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific. Richard and the Lumina team have not just been responsive to our ‘everyday’ IT needs, but have proactively sought to work with us on developing an infrastructure suitable for the type of operation we are today, and are planning to be months and years down the line. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard, especially for small to medium size business with growth in mind.

The commercially sensitive and regulated nature of Lambert Energy Advisory’s business requires an IT provider able to maintain the highest levels of integrity and confidentiality, Lumina Technologies has consistently been unimpeachable in this regard over the nine years we have employed them.

Richard and his team are a real inspiration to anyone who meets them and I have watched Lumina’s growth over the last few years with interest and admiration. Richard has been an amazing supporter of the Hospice of St Francis, being a Gold member of the Corporate Partner Network for almost two years. He takes an active interest in the community and is passionate about his company and his town: nothing is too much trouble, he is always willing to help, to give up his time and to provide business advice when asked. Lumina is an inspiration to any company wanting to set up business in Hertfordshire.
