You might have the best technology controls in the world, but criminals are attacking your business through your employees - why training your staff is so critical

You might have the best technology controls in the world, but criminals are attacking your business through your employees. Cyber is one of your top risks. One employee clicking on one email can quickly bring your company to its knees and many firms do not survive a cyber incident. Firms like yours are being hit every day, despite thinking it only happens to someone else, and there is no technology that can completely protect your employees from creating a cyber security incident.

Convert your employees from your weakest link into part of your defences, by training your staff on cyber security practices for their day-to-day work including operational controls that you cannot get from your IT provider. Contact us now about our popular interactive employee education and awareness training from our world class instructors and globally experienced cyber experts sharing insights from British Intelligence, UK National Security, Law Enforcement, GFSC and FTSE100 & Global Financial Services.

Our dedicated cyber security training facility, right in the heart of St Peter Port, offers a full programme of cyber security training events to match your business and budget, ranging from our public drop-in courses to our exclusive customised training tailored specifically to your organisation’s policies and controls. All open sessions will include a free place for micro-businesses (under 5 staff), charities and/or non-profits. Our training bundles and unlimited 'all you can eat' subscription packages offer great value and cost control, and can be reinforced by our other solutions tailored specifically to your organisation’s policies and controls.

Cyber Tip Tuesday for 14 January - No Technical Tool or Tools offer 100% Protection

Today we are talking about tools, as no tool, or suite of tools, can offer one hundred percent protection, after all anything man made can be man broken!

Even if a tool did offer complete protection today there will be teams of people around the world working around the clock to break it.

Anyone who says they rest easy or who says they sleep well at night because they have a particular tool is likely overconfident in that tool's ability to keep them safe.

Multiple layers of protection are needed and any technical solution still needs to be backed up with robust people and governance controls.

We can analyse your protections to see where your weaknesses might exist, and we can help shore up people and governance controls too.
