EWF Cybersecurity Awareness
Obsidiancorps in Tirana, Albania
This week, our team had the privilege of delivering an interactive cybersecurity awareness course for members of the European Weightlifting Federation (EWF) Committee and representatives from national member federations.
The session focused on strengthening cybersecurity knowledge, promoting safe digital practices, and helping leaders across Europe recognize and mitigate cyber risks in their daily operations.
About the Client
The European Weightlifting Federation (EWF) coordinates the sport across Europe and supports national federations with governance, competition readiness, and strategic development. Obsidiancorps partnered with the EWF to equip leaders with the knowledge and confidence to champion cybersecurity across their organizations.
The Challenge
Different cybersecurity maturity levels
Participants represented multiple federations with varying digital policies and resources, requiring content that met everyone where they were.
Bridging theory and day-to-day decisions
Leaders needed relatable examples that translated security principles into operational choices for athletes, staff, and events.
Building momentum beyond the workshop
The EWF wanted actionable takeaways and templates to continue reinforcing secure habits after the session.
Our Solution
Interactive, scenario-based learning
We designed a blended agenda combining threat briefings, live polling, and tabletop exercises tailored to federation operations. Realistic phishing simulations and incident walk-throughs kept participants engaged and confident.
Impact & Results
Representatives from national federations built a shared understanding of priority threats and mitigation steps.
Participants highlighted the interactive exercises as the most valuable component for reinforcing retention.
Key Results
Compliance with EU cybersecurity standards
Improvement in incident response time
Security breaches post-implementation
Comprehensive coverage across member countries
Our Methodology
Our approach combined threat intelligence analysis with hands-on scenario-based training, ensuring participants could immediately apply security principles to their federation operations.
Expert Insight
