Online Security Certification

For smaller businesses and organisations that do not have a dedicated IT department, measures need to be in place, to ensure online security.

Cyber threats are not just aimed at big businesses. Any device connected to the internet is at risk of being hacked or infected with a virus or ransomware. Online security is not a one-off issue, in that, once you set up controls and safeguards, you can forget it. As technology becomes more and more sophisticated, so do those who look to abuse it. Keeping a company’s sensitive information secure is essential.

This course is beneficial to employees who handle company data but also to any employee who needs to learn the basics of internet security. The course is also a good basis as an introduction, in the case of the company having identified an employee to train, to take over online security for the whole system.
