Training Reduces User-Driven Risk and Insurance Pressure
Cyber insurance premiums continue to shift as insurers evaluate human behavior risks. Novbox reports that many clients face potential policy increases of up to 250% when employees lack formal cybersecurity training. The company adopted Acronis Security Awareness Training, powered by Wizer, to address this risk and strengthen client readiness.
Novbox identified a consistent pattern. Eighty percent of cyberattacks start with a user clicking a malicious link. Many organizations relied on internal IT teams for training. These teams lacked structured materials and delivered brief guidance that failed to reduce human error. The gap increased exposure and influenced insurance reviews.
Structured Training for Modern Threats
Novbox deployed the Acronis–Wizer platform to deliver short, high-frequency lessons that mirror social media formats. These lessons encourage regular participation and support measurable behavior changes. The platform provides monitoring tools that document completion rates and curriculum progress. Administrators can export insurance audit reports within minutes.
Evidence of Direct Impact on Policy Pricing
Novbox highlights a recent client case. The client applied for cyber insurance and submitted its Wizer training report to the auditor. The auditor reviewed the document and confirmed the program met awareness standards. The client reported that auditors warn companies about significant pricing increases—up to 250%—when employees lack verified cybersecurity training. Novbox views this requirement as a defining factor in insurance evaluations.
The company notes stronger overall employee engagement. Workers share security lessons with family members, expanding awareness beyond the workplace. Novbox expects continued adoption as AI-enabled phishing and social engineering attacks grow more sophisticated.
