Training & Awareness
Employees are the first line of defense against cyber attacks. Technical measures alone are not enough if there is a lack of awareness of risks. With our training and awareness programs, we create an understanding of dangers, promote secure behaviour in everyday working life and anchor IT security in your corporate culture in the long term.
Security awareness training with OTARIS
Targeted security awareness training sensitizes your workforce to the most common threats in everyday digital life. Instead of dry theory, we focus on practical scenarios, interactive exercises and real-life case studies. In this way, employees not only learn to recognize attacks such as phishing or social engineering, but also to react to them correctly.
Phishing simulations
We carry out realistic tests that simulate typical attacks. The results are evaluated and translated into concrete learning effects.
Safe handling in everyday life
From passwords and mobile working to the protection of sensitive data, we provide practical best practices.
Cultural change
Safety becomes part of everyday life. Through regular training and communication, we promote a safety culture that has a long-term effect.
Threat Modeling
Introduction to threat modeling
What is threat modeling?
Threat modeling is an effective tool for making security risks visible as early as the planning phase of software projects. In our training courses, your teams learn how to systematically identify threats, realistically assess them and derive targeted countermeasures. This not only improves software quality, but also reduces costs through subsequent improvements.
Basics of the method
We explain how common models such as STRIDE or PASTA can be used to analyze threats in a structured way.
Interactive workshops
Using your own applications, we jointly develop threat scenarios and document possible attack paths.
Integration into the development process
We show how threat modeling can be seamlessly anchored in Secure SDLC and DevSecOps so that security is considered from the outset.
OTARIS - Your partner for IT security training & awareness
Secure software development
The quality and security of an application is decided from the very first piece of code written. In our training courses, we impart practical knowledge about secure coding, secure development processes and the basics of DevSecOps. Developers learn how to avoid typical mistakes such as insecure input, weak authentication or faulty session management and how to use proven security mechanisms instead. Supplemented by practical exercises such as code reviews and small hands-on projects, a direct learning effect is created that can be immediately transferred to day-to-day work.
Why is normal coding not enough?
Functioning code is not automatically secure code. Insecure functions, missing validations or the use of outdated libraries open the door to attackers. Secure coding adds a crucial layer of security to functional development.
How is security integrated into the development process?
Security must be an integral part of the development cycle. With automated tests, secure code reviews and CI/CD integration, it is embedded in everyday life and prevents risks from being discovered too late.
Cryptographic basics
Cryptography is the foundation of secure communication and data processing. Without an understanding of encryption, digital signatures and key management, applications remain vulnerable to data loss and manipulation. Our training course teaches the basics in an understandable way and shows how cryptography can be used securely and practically. Participants learn how to avoid risks and correctly integrate modern processes into their projects.
Basic concepts
We explain the differences between symmetric and asymmetric procedures, hash functions and the secure handling of keys.
Use in practice
Participants will learn how cryptography is used in everyday scenarios such as communication, data storage and authentication.
Typical errors & risks
We show the consequences of insecure algorithms, faulty implementations and outdated standards - and how these can be avoided.
Your advantages with OTARIS
With OTARIS, you receive training that combines theory and practice in a meaningful way. We do not rely on rigid standard content, but design each training course individually to suit your industry, your systems and your employees. We combine technical know-how with didactic experience so that content is not only understood, but also applied.
Our training courses create lasting effects: Employees develop an awareness of risks, teams learn to apply methods such as threat modeling independently and developers integrate secure coding practices into their everyday work. The result is a strengthened security culture that reduces risks, supports compliance and creates long-term trust.
