88% of companies have fallen victim to a cyberattack. ESET educates employees

PROJECT SCOPE
88% of companies in Poland have fallen victim to a cyberattack in the last 5 years. Cybercriminals expose businesses to massive losses (one attack costs PLN 1 million). In the current geopolitical situation, they operate increasingly ruthlessly. They bombard with fake invoices, malicious links, and phishing attempts. Companies need education for their employees.
The "Cyber portrait of Polish business" campaign helped identify errors in employee reactions. The challenge was to change the perception of cybersecurity – from being an IT department issue to a strategic challenge for the entire organization and all the people within it. We focused on strengthening the real resilience of Polish companies through the key link – the human being. The goal became to transform employees from a potential target into the first line of defense – through information and education.
That is why we combined media and educational activities – including a unique training in the form of a series.
The result: 1,430 publications (over 97% organic) and millions of more aware employees.
How can we provide comprehensive knowledge about the actual state of cybersecurity among Polish enterprises and genuinely change attitudes? We have created a media relations project that reaches out to businesses and industry media, but not exclusively. Its effectiveness was ensured by unique proprietary data collected in an original report and the selection of topics relevant to every participant in the technology sector.

We started with research and data analysis of 1,032 employees and 256 cybersecurity experts. This was the first study of its kind in the country, contrasting the perspectives of companies and specialists. It revealed that the declared and actual levels of security differ, that people are at the center of threats, and that two main gaps exist: in attitudes and in competencies.
We identified critical mistakes made by both decision-makers and employees. Only 59% of companies use antivirus software, 52% of employees have not received any cyber training in the last 5 years, only 48% know how to respond to an attack, and 20% consider security policies unnecessary. Meanwhile, the boundaries between private and professional life are blurring: 66% use business equipment for personal purposes, and 50% access company resources on their private devices.
During the campaign, we reached a wide audience: employees, IT specialists, and board members, using general interest, lifestyle, business, and tech media. We selected formats aligned with our goals: education and information. In press releases and articles, we combined data with case studies. In articles for specialized media, we expanded on the anatomy of attacks. In short alerts, rapid-response comments, and radio spots, we discussed ongoing incidents. We also utilized non-standard activities: training in the form of a mini-series and highly targeted paid campaigns.
We have prepared the research report "Cyber Portrait of Polish Business: Cybersecurity through the Eyes of Experts and Employees," which analyzed the attitudes of companies and employees towards cybersecurity.
We presented the cybersecurity landscape in Polish companies and the perspectives of cybersec specialists and ordinary employees.
The study considered daily habits, knowledge levels, and responses to threats. It also covered company strategies regarding training, budget, and priorities related to protection against cyberattacks.
The report became an integrated PR, sales, and business tool. Extensive media communication lasted 8 months.

effects
We achieved both goals: broad reach and a change in attitudes.
The story of corporate cybersecurity strongly interested the Polish media. Within a year, there were 1,430 publications (97% organic), with as much as 63% in Tier 1 media. We reached 23.2 million recipients; a person aged 25 or older could have encountered the message an average of 29 times. Importantly, we met the global half-year KPIs within the first 3 months of the project.
During this time, the ESET distributor in Poland, DAGMA Bezpieczeństwo IT, trained over 4,000 Polish employees. The new edition of the report shows real progress: an increase in awareness of the main threats (including phishing, ransomware, identity theft) among employees, and as many as 5% more specialists admit that employees take cybersecurity guidelines more seriously.
