Top 5 Mobile Device Attacks You Need to Watch Out For

by | Jul 25, 2022

When you think Cyber Security in New Zealand, you probably picture antivirus software, firewalls, and locking down accounts. All important stuff — but none of it matters if someone on your team clicks the wrong link.

That’s where Security Awareness Training comes in. And yep, it’s built into every one of our Managed IT Services plans here at ITstuffed.

Let’s talk about why it matters — and how we do it differently.

 

Wait… Security Awareness Training? What’s That?

It’s simple: we teach your team how not to get scammed.

That means:

  • Spotting fake login pages

  • Avoiding dodgy attachments

  • Recognising scam calls and social engineering tricks

  • Knowing when something feels off — and what to do next

No jargon. No hour-long courses. Just bite-sized, practical training that actually sticks.

Real Threats, Right Here in NZ

We see it all the time:

  • Fake Xero invoices

  • Office 365 password resets that aren’t real

  • “Microsoft” support calls asking for remote access

  • Google Drive shares that aren’t from your team

Cyber threats are local now — and Christchurch businesses are a growing target. That’s why we run NZ-specific phishing simulations to keep your people sharp and your data safe.

How We Deliver Security Awareness Training That Actually Works

Here’s what you get when you’re with ITstuffed:

Included in Your Support Plan

No extra costs. No bolt-ons. Training is just part of how we do security right.

Phishing Simulations

We send fake-but-realistic phishing emails to your team, just like attackers do. But when someone clicks, they learn — not get punished.

Micro-Training

Short, regular lessons that fit into a busy workday. Think 3-minute videos, not corporate snoozefests.

Reporting

You’ll get clear, simple reports showing who’s doing well, who needs help, and how things are improving over time.

Why It Matters (And Why It’s Not Optional Anymore)

Your staff are your biggest risk — and your best defence.

Most cyber incidents in New Zealand come down to human error. With training in place, we can reduce that risk dramatically.

And let’s be honest: recovering from a breach is expensive, stressful, and sometimes reputation-damaging. Prevention’s a no-brainer.

Part of a Bigger Stack

Training’s just one part of your defence. With ITstuffed, you also get:

  • Microsoft Defender + Huntress for real-time endpoint protection

  • Avanan for email filtering

  • DNSFilter for web protection

  • Secure baseline policies through Intune

  • Monthly backup checks

  • A full incident response plan, ready to go

Together, it forms a layered approach that gives you real peace of mind — and keeps your team confident online.

Final Thought: It’s Not Just IT. It’s Culture.

Cyber security isn’t just a tech issue — it’s a people issue. When you build awareness into your culture, everything else gets easier.

Security becomes second nature. Mistakes go down. And your business gets stronger.

Let’s Make Your People Part of the Solution

If you’re running a business in Christchurch or anywhere in NZ and want to know how secure your team really is — get in touch.

We’ll show you exactly how our Managed IT Services and Security Awareness Training protect your people, your data, and your bottom line.
