Why do Companies and Individuals Need Certified Cybersecurity Awareness Training?

FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center annual report says in 2019 US victims lost $3.5 billion, which does not include unreported losses. The benefits of investing in cybersecurity awareness training outweigh the cost of a leak or breach. The following are some of the potential repercussions should your business fall victim to a cyber-attack:

• Loss of revenue
• Reputation damage
• Loss of clients
• Operational disruptions
• Lawsuits
• Intellectual property (IP) cyber theft
• Theft of personally identifiable information (PII)
• Compromised client data, sensitive business information, and equipment

This cybersecurity awareness training is the first line of defense and can help the company prevent the above-mentioned problems.

Jillian Curry

This course is a true tour de force when it comes to cybersecurity. The sponsors focus on the issues and threats that impact on all of us. How, and to what extent, you implement the information and advice provided will depend on your needs, risk tolerance, and ability to withstand the consequences should a threat materialize. The material is well organized and paced in such a way that the “student” has time to make notes. Whether you are a student, a person responsible for a household, retiree, employee, corporate official, or security officer, you will find the material here you can understand and, importantly, put to use immediately in your cyberenvironment.
