ENGAGING FORMAT
CompTIA CyberSecure uses a combination of video, animation and interactive scenarios to help adult learners reflect on their own behaviors in real life situations. The short modules use a conversational tone to keep learners engaged. Learning modules include the following types of activities to teach learners about good, better and best choices when information security is sometimes at odds with convenience:
• cognitive mapping • real world scenarios
• choose-your-own-adventure style • case studies that contextualize choices
• ranking exercises that teach good, better and best choices
Top 5 reasons human error leads to security incidents*
1. Increased use of social media by staff
2. Failure of staff to understand new threats
3. General negligence/carelessness towards security
4. Lack of security expertise with websites and applications
5. Failure of IT staff to follow security procedures and policies
Why Train Your Staff
Businesses realize that cybersecurity is important, but do you know what might be putting you at risk? Research shows that 52% of breaches are caused by human error…not the technology issues you might expect. Too many companies wait for a breach to show they should improve their security.
Not only does security training keep your technical team up to speed with the dynamic environment, but it also keeps the rest of your staff from exposing the company to additional risks.
Technologies such as cloud and mobility are changing corporate processes and workflows. Disruptive technologies like these mean changes not only to your IT architecture, but to your operations and policies.
CompTIA CyberSecure training for
your entire staff can change your
organizational mindset for the better.
You can no longer afford the risks of not having a cybersecurity policy, and training is a vital piece of that plan.According to recent research, $3.79 million is the average total cost of
a data breach...and that number is rising fast. Cybersecurity breaches
are increasing in frequency and the costs associated with resulting lost
business are becoming more significant.***
