CS Zone proudly highlights a recent cybersecurity awareness and skills training session delivered to the employees of Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) by Muhammad Asad Ul Rehman. The program was designed to strengthen KUFPEC’s cyber resilience and equip staff with practical knowledge to recognize, prevent, and respond to potential security threats.
This interactive session focused on today’s most pressing cyber risks, including phishing attacks, ransomware, malware infections, and social engineering tactics targeting critical infrastructure. Rather than a purely theoretical lecture, the training emphasized practical solutions — from using strong passwords and multi-factor authentication to secure data handling and timely software updates — helping employees turn security policies into day-to-day habits.
A dedicated segment addressed incident response readiness, guiding participants on immediate actions to take in case of a suspected breach and explaining internal reporting protocols. By practicing these steps through case studies and live scenarios, attendees gained confidence in their ability to act quickly and minimize potential damage.
The training also underscored the importance of building a security-first culture. Employees were encouraged to stay alert, report suspicious activity early, and champion cybersecurity best practices within their teams. This proactive mindset is essential for reducing organizational risk and safeguarding sensitive business operations.
By the end of the program, participants had a clearer understanding of the cyber threat landscape and left with actionable steps to improve their personal and professional security posture. As Muhammad Asad Ul Rehman noted,
“When employees are empowered with the right knowledge, they become the strongest line of defense against cyber threats.”
This initiative demonstrates the growing commitment across the energy sector to embed cybersecurity awareness into corporate culture and ensure teams are prepared to face evolving digital risks.
