Home » Knowledge Center » Case Study – Custom Cybersecurity Education
The Challenge
This engagement was completed by our Rhode Island team (formerly MERIT Solutions), now part of Charles IT.
Century Drywall, a growing organization with over 500 employees, needed to strengthen its cybersecurity posture in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats. With a large and diverse workforce, inconsistent security awareness across departments created risk for human error—one of the leading causes of security incidents.
The organization needed a scalable approach to cybersecurity education that would not only reduce risk, but also empower employees to recognize and respond to threats in real time.
The Solution
We implemented a customized cybersecurity education program designed to build a security-conscious culture across the entire organization.
This included:
- Cybersecurity training tailored to different departments and roles
- Threat assessments to identify key areas of vulnerability
- Security awareness programs focused on real-world attack scenarios
- Ongoing education to reinforce best practices and evolving threats
- Risk management strategies to reduce exposure to cyber risks
The Results
With a structured and ongoing approach to cybersecurity education, Century Drywall significantly improved its overall security posture and reduced the risk of employee-driven security incidents.
The improvements led to:
- Increased employee awareness of phishing and cyber threats
- Stronger organization-wide security practices
- Reduced risk of human error leading to security breaches
- A more proactive and informed workforce
