“Employees are the front line in the war against cyber security threats. Technology certainly is critical in this war, but having users that are aware of the threats and are thus able to disengage from risky activity makes a huge impact on the security posture of the company,” says Murray Benadie, MD of Zenith Systems.
It is with this in mind that we will be launching the award-wining security e-learning from Cyveillance at the ITWeb Security Summit's Expo at the Sandton Convention Centre this week.
Training from a leader in cyber security
The Cyveillance Cyber Safety Awareness training modules give employees a behind-the-scenes look at the latest technologies and techniques powering today's most devastating Internet scams - fraud, network breaches, identity theft, and loss of customer data. The courses provide best practices on how to safely navigate the Internet, increasing awareness and heightening each employee's sense of responsibility.
The courses consist of a three-part series designed to be viewed either as a whole or as a security awareness training course programme, where each module progressively makes learners aware of increasingly more complex attacks.
Focusing on specific areas of cyber safety, each course builds on the foundations established by the preceding course. The courses are described below:
Intro to cyber safety:
Using a “you are the target, you are the defence” approach to cyber safety, this course covers the basic fundamentals of cyber safety using real-world examples of today's cyber threats combined with easy-to-remember steps to protect users and the network.
Malware and advanced social engineering attacks:
Malware is well-known to pose many dangers to both employees and organisations. What is lesser known is that most malware infections are delivered via socially-engineered attacks. This course provides a look at the latest methods used by cyber criminals to infect users and the network with malware and how many of these infections can be avoided through safe Internet browsing habits.
Focused, high-end attacks:
Cyber criminals are launching high-end, stealthy attacks against employees using intelligence gathered from the Web and the social networking environment. This course provides an overview of how an employee's Internet footprint can be leveraged to enable cyber criminals to gain access to the network and sensitive information, along with steps the employee can take to prevent falling victim to these sophisticated attacks.
A safer workforce:
By completing the training courses, employees gain a better understanding of how the most damaging cyber attacks are actually executed. Attendees will see how the profile of an individual increases exposure to threats and how to better protect valuable data. Finally, attendees will learn which threats pose the greatest dangers today, which are likely to in the future, and practical tools and tactics to proactively protect against them. The result is a more aware, informed team able to confidently leverage the latest online security best practices, enhancing customer confidence and gaining a competitive edge.
