INTRODUCTION
Cybersecurity plays an important role within business as it helps in defending against
growing concerns of cyber attack. It helps in protecting the business from threats and damages
due which leads to increase in performance and growth of company. Cybersecurity helps in
preventing data loss, safeguard and organization’s network and data files, install firewalls,
manage vulnerability and also ensure the safety of networks. Company focuses on investing in
cybersecurity as prevent the data from breach and helps in protecting from internal and external
bad actors (Corallo, Lazoi and Lezzi, 2020). Organistaion generally provide training opportunity
to their staff so that they can learn about the impact of cybersecurity on business and how it can
be overcome. The purpose of cybersecurity for business is to maintain security, confidentiality
and integrity. There are different types of cybersecurity training for employees such as
cybersecurity awareness training, specialized cybersecurity programs, compliance security
training and many others. In training session, companies generally make them aware from
different strategies which help in reducing the threats and damages (Ponsard and Grandclaudon,
2019). The implementation of strategy helps in increasing the growth and performance of
business. Organisation gains various benefits through implementing effective cybersecurity
strategies within workplace as it helps in increasing the reputation and productivity of business.
Thus, this project is based on the evaluation of cybersecurity strategies delivered in training
sessions to employees for reducing rate of cybercrimes (Jeyaraj, Zadeh and Sethi, 2021). The
chosen organistaion for this research is Waracle LTD, it is an organisation that believes in
mobile and emerging technologies as a force for good. They collaborate with strategic partners in
order to deliver digital solutions with meaningful real world impact.
TITLE
“To determine the effectiveness of the cybersecurity strategies delivered in training
sessions to employees for reducing rate of cybercrimes”
AIM
“To evaluate the cybersecurity strategies delivered in training sessions to employees for
reducing rate of cybercrimes”. A study on Waracle LTD, UK.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
The major problem within this research is that it to identify the strategies of reducing
cybercrime. It is important to determine the strategy that helps in increasing the profitability and
productivity of business. Organistaion generally face issues regarding the cybersecurity due to
which they are unable to protect their data and also fails to build trust among customers. Thus,
the current investigation will help the company to implement the effective cybersecurity
strategies that helps in reducing the cybercrimes and improves the reputation of brand.
BACKGROUND
Literature review
What is the concept and significance of Cybersecurity in context to organisation?
According to Brilingaitė, Bukauskas and Juozapavičius (2020), Cybersecurity mainly
includes processes, technologies and controls in order to protect the system, program, devices,
networks and information from cyber attacks. It helps in protecting against the unauthorized
exploitation of technologies, systems and networks and also reduces the risk of cyber attacks.
Cyber security is based on three fundamental concepts such as integrity, confidentiality and
availability. Companies generally use cyber security for protecting all categories of data from
damage and theft. The categories of data cover personal information, sensitive data, intellectual
property data, personally identifiable information, governmental and industry information system
and protected health information. Organisations need protecting against security threats and
cyber attacks due to which it becomes important to invest in cyber security. If company face
issues related to data breaches it can badly affect the business and also it is time consuming and
expensive process (Runciman, 2020). Thus, it is necessary to have a strong infosec as it helps in
reducing the risk of internal and external attacks on information technology system.
Cybersecurity plays an integral role within an organisation as it provides confidence that they
have strong data security which helps in protecting against cyber attack and data breaches issues.
When company have weak cybersecurity it leads to lost or stolen of information, reputational
harm and also creates a poor experience for consumers which leads to lost business (La Torre,
Lucchese and Mancini, 2021). Therefore, it becomes important for firm to have solid infosec as
it helps in reducing the risk of attacks in information technology systems, prevents disruption of
services via cyber attacks, applies security controls to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive
