With a common goal of optimum security levels amongst all your staff, the organisation becomes almost uncompromisable. However, without providing annual security awareness training the risk of indifference creeping in rises within a workplace.
Staff that are inadequately trained in security or careless actions can lead to loss of revenue, reputational damage, loss of competitive advantage and legal cost to name a few.
Studies show that with annual security awareness training the likelihood of an incident can be significantly reduced, providing your staff with the tools they need to identify and report threats.
This course will provide your organisation’s staff with the knowledge, skill and practical experience they need to help reduce the likelihood of security incidents occurring within the workplace.
