Educating all your staff about information security
will not only be useful for them in giving them the tools to recognise any potential
risks, it will also help your organisation
identify new threats as they arise from employee feedback,
creating a more alert and forthcoming workforce.
Almost every single one of your employees will
handle information of a sensitive nature every day as part of their day to day
routine. It should therefore be a part
of their job description that they understand the importance of information
security and the risks it brings with it.
Let us educate your employees to reduce the chance of your company being
a victim.
Unfortunately there are always hackers waiting to
gain access to your network and data so let’s not make life easy due to poor
understanding of security management.
Your employees can open the gateways to these hackers without realising
it, but with adequate training they can also handle an incident should it occur
or reduce the threat of it happening.
In addition to this simplEtraining
keeps up to date with regulatory compliance so you can rest assured that the
security awareness training that is completed by your employees will be
provided with up to date content and guidance.
You can also be guaranteed that our content is
pitched at the right level taking into consideration that some employees may
have little or a very basic understanding of security awareness. You can expect
training to be engaging and tailored to you and your company.
With the ever increasing requirement to store data
electronically, there will always be security threats on the horizon and it
would be more comforting to be able to consider that alongside the technology
you use to protect your data that one of the security assets available to you
and your business is your staff. It is only with adequate training that they will be
confident and clear as to how to handle the information and data you have.
There are new security threats being created every
day and many companies are spending thousands
and thousands of pounds in time and effort trying to protect
their information ensuring it is safe and secure. But this time and effort will often only be
wasted if employees don’t understand their role within information security.
Large government bodies are proof that the best state of the art technology and strict policies
will not entirely protect you. They do
not prevent an employee leaving their unsecure laptop on a train with hundreds
of customer details on it. A security
awareness programme could have ensured that this employee was more protective
of his/her laptop.
Other security threats we will advise your
employees about on our security awareness programme, include the need to have a
strong password and how the improper control of
laptops and other devices can lead to a loss of important data or even allow a
network attack by hackers.
