Cyber security training is vital for any business.
Many people assume that it’s the responsibility of the IT department to keep everyone safe online, but they can only work with the tools that they have, from a proactive management point of view, and then work with the company’s policies if a threat occurs.
Nothing is 100% secure. With the ever-changing environment and a minimum 30% increase in year-on and year-off cyber threats, a mixture of proactive, reactive, and agreed expectations should be set out and reviewed at least every year.
Why does my team need cyber security training when I have an IT department to oversee any issues?
While your IT department can oversee your business network and the software you use, they can’t oversee what you or your team or doing online. They also can't see when you open spam emails or click compromising links. Especially now that so many people are working outside the office environment.
Everyone in your team, from all departments within the organisation, can benefit from additional training. Especially during a time when hackers are finding new and unheard-of ways to obtain your company data and access systems.
