Why is cyber security awareness training important?
People are often both an organisation’s most valuable and most vulnerable assets, but it is not always obvious to employers that a greater level of protection may be required for their people.
Training will not only help employees understand the potential risk of a cyber-attack and how it may impact their organisation but will also better equip them to identify and prevent such an attack protecting both themselves and the business. They will gain an understanding of the importance and sensitivity of your organisation's data helping meet certain compliance objectives.
What are the consequences of inadequate cyber security awareness training?
Cyber security breaches can have devastating consequences for businesses and individuals alike. Without adequate awareness training, employees are more likely to fall victim to phishing scams and other cyber attacks.
This can lead to sensitive data being leaked, financial losses, and reputational damage. In order to protect your business or organisation, it is essential to provide employees with comprehensive cyber security awareness training.
What is cyber security?
Whether we pay much daily attention to it or not, cyber security is an essential part of all our daily lives. Essentially, cyber security involves protecting computers, servers, networks, devices and data from a wide range of digital attacks. Cyber threats are constantly evolving and becoming more sophisticated. A robust cyber security solution involves a combination of technology, processes and cyber-aware personnel who can identify risks and mitigate against the threat of cyberattacks, therefore protecting vital data.
Why is cyber security testing important?
In the current digital age, technology is intertwined with every aspect of our lives. We rely heavily on the internet for everything from communication to entertainment, banking and shopping. As such, the importance of cyber security cannot be overstated and has emerged as a critical necessity. Investing in cyber security helps to protect personal and financial information from being accessed and used by criminals.
