Be ahead of the game with security awareness training

We are all aware there are certain measures that we need to take to ensure our computer systems are safe and secure from hackers. Therefore it should come as no surprise that the majority of companies have taken relevant steps to put firewalls and virus protection in place to minimise any risk to hardware and software within the company.

To take it a step further, policies should also have been created so that all employees are aware of their responsibilities when it comes to security awareness. But is this enough? How can you convince yourself that every individual has read the policy and they have sufficient understanding and furthermore this understanding is consistent across the organisation? This is why it is time to talk about security awareness training.

Your security strategy will only be successful if your employees have been a part of it and have a sufficient understanding through appropriate training. Therefore security awareness training should not be understated. The goal of this training is to educate employees on potential threats and give them the tools and skills to prevent these threats from becoming a reality. A much larger goal would also be to change the culture of the organisation permanently. In fact SimplEtraining will help you get the importance of information security across to your employees in an engaging course and get that all important buy in. Once your users have bought in to the idea they will be more than willing to enforce it in their day to day job role. 

 

SimplEtraining can show you that security awareness training can be that extra layer of defence, dramatically decreasing the risk of security threats.

Our training courses are tailored to meet your needs and requirements. They provide a solid foundation ensuring attendees of the course are aware of malware, Trojans, viruses and phishing which are all important areas in which to build upon. Other key areas included in the training are the importance of not using personal devices when in the office or even accessing emails from personal mobiles at home. The employee may think this is acceptable and OK but in actual fact they are potentially opening the gateways to hackers. While employees should not be discouraged from going the extra mile and responding to emails etc from home, our training will provide guidance on the potential risks this involves and ways to reduce this risk and protect the company information.

The training materials developed will reflect your own corporate policies. Our cost effective programme could make a significant difference to your organisation. We have many clients that come back to us time and time again. Why? We do not offer a programme straight out the box. We take the time to listen to your goals and what you are hoping to achieve from the course and develop a course that meets these requirements.

Our clients are our priority. Consider security awareness training for your employees, you will not be disappointed. The results speak for themselves.
