Protect your Reputation with an Internet Security Course

There is no escaping social networking sites; MySpace, LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are not only a great way to keep in touch with loved ones and update others on our day to day activities, but they can also be used by organisations as a way of marketing, building contacts and promoting themselves to a wider audience.

Whilst the invention of these social networking sites may be seen as great technological inventions of the time, as with every step forward in technology there comes a risk that users must be made aware of. Are you or your staff one of the millions of people that have their own social media page on one of the popular platforms previously mentioned? Do you or your staff post personal or work related information? Do you or your staff access these sites whilst at work?

If you’ve answered yes to any of the above then you or your employees could potentially put personal, company or confidential client information at risk. But by completing an internet security course delivered by simplEtraining, you can reduce these risks by providing yourselves with the knowledge, information and tools required to help avoid a potentially damaging situation.

A large number of incidents relating to the loss or leaking of information, can be put down to user error or people not being aware of the consequences of their actions. An internet security course will help ensure you and your staff are fully aware of the risks of using social media and help equip you to use them in a way that protects both the individual and the organisation.

Be aware of the risks posed by:

• Individuals using their personal accounts to communicate work-related information
• Employees posting photographs or information linking them to your company
• Users accessing social media via company tools such as smartphones and the excessive use of these sites when at work.

Contact simplEtraining today and let us show you and your employees how to practice safe social networking and help ensure that your data remains protected and your company reputation intact.

SimplEtraining Deliver a Tailor Made IT Security Course for You

In the digital age that we live in there is no escaping technology as it is everywhere; from our personal lives through to the backbone of many successful companies the digital age has changed the way we live, work and play. But as the growth and development of technology continues apace, companies are having to spend more time, effort and money on ensuring the security of their data against the increasing number of sophisticated cyber attacks, and the increased risk of data loss.

Whilst there has been much product development to assist companies in securing their network and the data held, it is only in more recent years that consideration has been given to reducing the security risks that arise from the workforce accessing and using the network on a daily basis. Whether by accident or with malicious intent the amount of data that can potentially be leaked and/ or lost through human intervention has become one of the biggest security risks faced by companies.

With this in mind many companies are turning to training for their staff, and an IT security course can provide your workforce with the basic knowledge and best practices required to help protect your company’s data.
