Cybersecurity training
It is essential to train staff responsible for managing and processing sensitive, strategic or personal data to protect the company from the risks associated with human error. From a technical point of view, specialized courses on specific topics are essential for technical staff, who represent the first line of defense in corporate cybersecurity. A course offered by Safecore on privacy and IT security can satisfy these needs.
The Human Factor
To ensure an adequate level of security in an information system, it is essential to intervene on all its components to prevent weak points in the chain. Therefore, in addition to focusing on processes and technologies, best practices also place emphasis on the human factor, which often represents one of the major vulnerabilities in an information system.
A clear example is the high number of phishing attempts that every IT organization faces on a daily basis. Other risk situations include using company emails to sign up to external sites, often reusing the same email password, accessing unsecured Wi-Fi networks whilst travelling, inappropriate use of mobile devices, which may not be adequately protected, to access company resources, and so on.
Analysis for the design of a secure software
The training of personnel who deal with delicate, strategic or sensitive data, in addition to being required by sector regulations and standards, is essential to protect oneself from very concrete risks.
This is valid regardless of company roles: corporate users, IT technicians, executives or top management; each obviously in relation to their duties and responsibilities. A computer security course, appropriately calibrated on the needs and initial level of users, is the ideal solution to deal with these problems.
How computer security courses work
Il GDPR highlighted the importance of training not only users and managers at various management levels, but also systems engineers, developers, project or product managers and other roles involved in any IT security project, especially in relation to specific types of data. Similar requirements are also found in the ISO 27001 or PCI DSS standards.
In various business sectors it is now a consolidated practice to also offer training to end customers. An example is represented by the newsletters sent by credit institutions to their customers, aimed at making them aware of misleading messages received via email.
The safety courses of Safecore
Safecore offers a variety of training courses that cover all aspects of cybersecurity: from basic ones, designed for a broad audience, to more technical ones on specific topics.
In cybersecurity courses aimed at a wide audience, topics such as data management according to privacy regulations, the safe use of devices and general good practices in the use of company resources can be covered.
For technical staff, specialized cybersecurity courses can focus on specific topics, such as secure coding for programmers, or hardening techniques for networks, servers or workstations for systems engineers.
Who can benefit?
Any company that wants to enhance the skills and awareness of its staff or specific professionals, not only to adhere to standards and regulations, but also to raise the overall level of safety. Specific training programs are also available for digital service providers who aim to offer their customers high-quality cybersecurity services.
