Overview:
Providing employees with continued Internet security awareness training is critical to securing government agencies’/small businesses’ networks.  Without proper awareness training, employees may engage in dangerous cyber security habits like downloading unsolicited email attachments, divulging sensitive information to phishers or not encrypting critical company or customer information.
Such mistakes have cost small/large businesses and government organizations dearly in the past.  Just last year, a government agency employee had their laptop stolen, which contained thousands of unencrypted files of sensitive information on it.  The result of such a breach cost that agency embarrassment, loss of confidence and possibly millions of dollars.  This threat is not contained to government agencies. According to a 2005 FBI Cyber Crime Study, nearly nine out of ten companies and public institutions surveyed, suffered a cyber security incident in 2005.  Moreover, the average loss per incident was $203,606.

To make sure your employees don’t become “the weakest link in your network security,” and are instead your “first line of defense,” this webcast will arm your employees with the basic training they need to identify and respond to the most recent Internet threats they may face while using their company computers.
