Why do Companies and individuals Need Cyber Security 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 cyber security 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 Cyber Security Awareness Training is the first line of defense and can help the company prevent the above-mentioned problems.

Who should take this Cybersecurity Awareness Certification Training?

Technology alone cannot protect you from cybercrime threats. Criminals tend to go where security is weakest. Humans are considered the weakest link in the chain. Humans are a link in the chain & the first line of defense.

This Cyber Security Awareness Certification Training is specifically designed for today’s computer users who spend a substantial portion of their time using the Internet extensively to work, study and play.

  • Employees
  • Business owners
  • Individuals applying for the first job in their life
  • Seniors
  • Parents
  • Volunteers
  • Kids

With kids having access to the internet through cell phones, laptops, iPads & tablets at home, kids must take this training as criminals can use different techniques to hack into your home network, possibly leading to a breach.
