The Goal
The city government wanted to:

• Strengthen cyber hygiene across departments.

• Reduce the risk of ransomware and phishing attacks.

• Improve civil servants’ awareness of digital threats.

Problem
Civil servants frequently fell for phishing emails disguised as tax updates or government memos. Limited awareness training made them vulnerable to ransomware campaigns targeting municipalities.

Solution
Solurius SAT introduced:

• Simulated phishing campaigns with government-specific attack scenarios.

• Awareness modules on secure email practices and password hygiene.

• Centralized dashboards for department heads to track progress.

Implementation
Training started with finance and HR departments, then scaled to all municipal services. Civil servants received short, scenario-based awareness lessons.

Evolution

• Automated campaigns reinforced lessons quarterly.

• Analytics identified departments most at risk.

• Awareness became embedded in employee performance reviews.

Results

• 80% improvement in phishing detection rates.

• 55% reduction in ransomware-related incidents.

• Strengthened citizen trust through better cybersecurity culture.

Recommendation
“Solurius SAT helped us transform employees from easy targets into cyber defenders. We are now prepared, resilient, and proactive.”
