Westpac’s front line of defence: Improving human security
summary
Humans become a measurable defence: Westpac sends one simulated phishing email a month to every employee, auto-enrolling clickers into staged remediation (two clicks = extra training, three = a workshop) and tracking low click and high report rates as KPIs. Data loss prevention rolls out over 22+ tranches from warnings to blocks, backed by a built secure alternative, Westpac File Share with ~30,000 users. A 400+ strong Cyber Security Champions network amplifies targeted role-based training and telemetry.
