The Challenge
Regulatory bodies and better practice cyber security guidelines continue to emphasise the importance of the ‘Human Firewall’ or people as the first and last line of defence in cyber risk management.
No matter how mature your cyber security framework is or how incredibly complex the technical controls are, the human factor will always be a variable that requires constant attention. There is now, more than ever, increased expectations on boards and management to take responsibility for the cyber security posture of an organisation and regular cyber risk awareness training is part of the answer.
Course Objectives
Our Cyber Risk Awareness Training is more effective and engaging than computer based training. It is more than just trick questions and case studies. It is delivered by a cyber security specialist and in words that are easy for people to understand and apply.
We explore all areas of cyber risk on various platforms, what’s happening on the dark web, the current and future trends of attacks relevant to your industry and what your organisation has available today to mitigate cyber incidents should they occur.
Our one-hour Cyber Risk Awareness Training sessions are designed to address all levels in an organisation including:
- The governing body – board members, councillors and committee members
- C-level managers
- End-users or general staff including managers
- Information Technology management teams and their responsibilities
