Why Companies & Individuals Need Security Awareness Training?

FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center annual report says in 2019 US victims lost $3.5 billion, which does not include unreported losses.  The benefits of investing in security awareness training outweigh the cost of a leak or breach. The following are some of the potential repercussions should your business fall victim to a cyber-attack:

  • Loss of revenue
  • Reputation damage
  • Loss of clients
  • Operational disruptions
  • Lawsuits
  • Intellectual property (IP) cyber theft
  • Theft of personally identifiable information (PII)
  • Compromised client data, sensitive business information, and equipment

This training is the first line of defense and can help the company prevent the above-mentioned problems.

Who should take this training?

Technology alone cannot protect you from cybercrime threats. Criminals go where security is weakest. Humans are considered the weakest link in the chain.  Humans are a link in the chain & the first line of defense.

This course is specifically designed for today’s computer users who a substantial portion of their time using the Internet extensively to work, study and play.

  • Employees
  • Business owners
  • Individuals applying for the first job in their life
  • Seniors
  • Parents
  • Volunteers
  • Kids

With kids having access to the internet through cell phones, laptops, iPads & tablets at home, kids must take this training as criminals can use different techniques to hack into their home network, possibly leading to a breach.

  28. This course is a true tour de force when it comes to cybersecurity. The sponsors focus on the issues and threats that impact on all of us. How, and to what extent, you implement the information and advice provided will depend on your needs, risk tolerance, and ability to withstand the consequences should a threat materialize. The material is well organized and paced in such a way that the “student” has time to make notes. Whether you are a student, a person responsible for a household, retiree, employee, corporate official, or security officer, you will find the material here you can understand and, importantly, put to use immediately in your cyberenvironment.
