Your company is under threat every day - and, more frightening still, your own employees could be at the root of most of it.
Sound scary? It is - according to the United States` Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), almost two-thirds of reported security breaches result from human error. That means that risks to your business - attack, theft and lost productivity - could easily be avoided if all staff were made aware of information security best practices. Organisations should therefore arm themselves against loss of valuable corporate and client information by implementing a security awareness programme that fosters a change in the way users think about information security, instilling a real concern and encouraging them to settle for nothing less than effective information security.
Foster-Melliar`s Information Security for Business People , helps you achieve this by educating your staff on how to minimise the various information security risks that exist .
The one-day interactive workshop uses humour to help employees grasp the importance of Information Security, engendering a culture of security awareness by using real life examples of how organisations can come under threat. The result is a proactive workforce protecting your corporate and client information.
The workshop is aimed at non-IT staff, particularly non-technical management and supervisors, non-security staff, admin staff, business units, floor and factory personnel, juniors and new recruits. It`s also suitable for non-IT literate staff, or those with basic PC knowledge.
An organisations Intellectual Property is one of its most valuable assets and very often holds the secret of its competitiveness, making it vital to take steps to protect it at all costs. Course attendees will gain a thorough understanding of why information security is important, and the role they play in safeguarding the organisation`s assets. Organisations then benefit through this knowledge of how to handle information security issues.
One hoax not forwarded to colleagues , a virus deleted immediately, or a suspicious character exposed, means that the workshop was a success - and your precious data is safe.
