Cybersecurity Education

Top-Tier Cybersecurity Training & Education

Avoid common yet deadly data breaches and malware attacks by giving your employees ongoing cybersecurity training that will keep your business safe at all times.

Do your employees know how to tell the difference between a genuine email from a manager/business owner and a fraudulent one? Can they spot phishing attacks and take measures to avoid them? Do they know what to do in the event of a ransomware attack to limit the damage? If not, cybersecurity education is in order to provide your staff members with the skills they need to keep your business up and running.

Cybersecurity Training & Education

In fact, giving your employees ongoing IT cybersecurity training could be a matter of life or death for your business. Consider the following information:

• Employees are the number one cause of data breaches
• The infamous Equifax breach that compromised the records of nearly 150 million Americans was caused by a single employee’s failure to implement software fixes that would have prevented the breach from happening in the first place.
• Snapchat’s breach, which exposed the records of 700 current and former employees, happened because an employee didn’t realize that an email ostensibly from Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel was in fact from a cyberhacker. The employee then followed the fraudulent email’s instructions and emailed the confidential information to the hacker.
• Calgary, Canada, is facing a $92.9 million lawsuit because one careless employee sent an email to another employee in a different Alberta municipality sharing personal information such as names, addresses, birth dates, and income details.
