TargetSolutions’ Computer Security Awareness training course is an hour-long lesson that focuses on the fundamentals of cyber security.
A recent study found that every individual record that is compromised or stolen as part of a data breach costs an organization an average of $158. In the event of a breach of more than 10,000 records, the total costs can swell to hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. Even with strict protocols in place, computer security awareness is something that all employees need to be aware of. With an endless supply of viruses, worms, malware, and hackers looking to illegally gain access to sensitive information, it should always be a top priority to ensure that your data is safe and secure.
TargetSolutions’ Computer Security Awareness online training course covers the essentials of cyber security and offers tips to avoid intrusive data breaches and damaging phishing attacks. Consisting of 10 learning modules followed by a 10-question exam, this course offers a solid overview of cyber security to users of all skill levels.
“Computer security should be everyone’s responsibility. One bad move can potentially cripple an entire network, so it’s important that your entire organization is on the same page when it comes to keeping your data and personal information secure.”
Bryan Fitzgerald, Content Manager, TargetSolutions
