Cybersecurity Training

Build a Security-First Culture Across Your Entire Organisation

Cybersecurity is no longer just the IT department's problem — it's an organisational imperative. The majority of successful breaches exploit human error, weak coding practices, or inadequate processes rather than sophisticated zero-day vulnerabilities. Renux Technologies delivers cybersecurity training that addresses security at every level: from general awareness programs that help all staff recognise and avoid threats, to deep technical training for developers and engineers on secure coding, penetration testing, and incident response. Our goal is to make security a shared responsibility, embedded into how your organisation thinks and operates.

Our security awareness programs are designed to be engaging and practical — not the checkbox compliance exercises that employees tune out. We use real-world case studies, interactive scenarios, and simulated phishing exercises to drive home the reality of modern threats. Participants learn to identify social engineering attempts, handle sensitive data properly, report suspicious activity, and follow secure practices in their daily work. We track engagement and retention metrics to demonstrate real behavioural change, not just attendance.

For development teams, our secure coding training is built around the OWASP Top 10 and goes deep into the vulnerabilities that matter most: injection attacks, broken authentication, cross-site scripting, insecure deserialization, and more. Every vulnerability is demonstrated with live exploitation, then participants fix the same vulnerabilities in hands-on lab environments. We also cover threat modeling using the STRIDE framework, security architecture principles, and how to integrate security testing into CI/CD pipelines so vulnerabilities are caught before they reach production.

Our compliance framework training helps organisations navigate the complex landscape of regulatory requirements — POPIA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and industry-specific regulations. We translate dense compliance language into practical, actionable guidance that your teams can implement, and we help you build the documentation, processes, and technical controls needed to achieve and maintain compliance.

Training Programs

• Security Awareness for All Staff — recognising phishing emails, social engineering tactics, password hygiene, safe browsing, physical security, mobile device security, and data handling procedures
• Secure Coding Practices (OWASP Top 10) — injection prevention, authentication security, XSS mitigation, CSRF protection, security headers, input validation, output encoding, and secure API design
• Penetration Testing Fundamentals — reconnaissance, vulnerability scanning, exploitation techniques, privilege escalation, reporting, and responsible disclosure — using industry-standard tools
• Incident Response Procedures — detection, triage, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review — with tabletop exercises simulating realistic breach scenarios
• Threat Modeling (STRIDE) — identifying threats systematically using Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege analysis
• Security Architecture — defence-in-depth, zero-trust architecture, network segmentation, encryption strategies, key management, and secure infrastructure design
• Identity & Access Management (IAM) — authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML), role-based access control, least privilege principles, MFA implementation, and SSO architecture
• Social Engineering Awareness — psychology of manipulation, pretexting, baiting, tailgating, vishing, and building organisational resilience against human-targeted attacks
• Phishing Simulation Exercises — customised simulated phishing campaigns, measurement of click-through and reporting rates, targeted follow-up training, and progressive difficulty

Compliance Framework Training

• POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) — South African data protection requirements, lawful processing conditions, data subject rights, and practical compliance implementation
• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) — EU data protection principles, consent management, data processing agreements, breach notification, and cross-border data transfers
• PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) — cardholder data protection, network segmentation, access controls, encryption, vulnerability management, and audit preparation
• ISO 27001 — information security management system (ISMS) requirements, risk assessment methodology, control implementation, internal audit, and certification preparation
