IT Security Training

Virtuous Networking offers a range of training courses to suit different needs, ranging from Security Awareness training for employees through to specialist ICT Security Training covering more complex technical subject matter, an example of the former is given below.

Virtuous also works with customers to develop tailored training programs to meet the needs of individual organisations.

Security Awareness

Front-line employees face a difficult challenge today. They are being pressured by customers and managers to deliver more, and ever more quickly. Yet, growing awareness of the importance of information security is putting restrictions on the ways they can meet those pressures, a process which can be perceived by some as ‘getting in the way’. With this mindset in many organisations, how can you be sure that your people, with the best intentions, are not tempted to cut corners, circumventing some or all of your carefully designed measures protecting you and your customers’ sensitive data?

Virtuous offer a 1 Day Security Awareness seminar which will ensure employees know the importance of following information security policy, and understand the right behaviours and actions to take.

By giving staff an overview of the measures they should be taking to protect an organisation’s information, it teaches them the danger signs that indicate an attack, and how to respond to threats such as viruses, worms, spam, drive-by downloads, compromised USB keys, 419 frauds, phishing, whaling and identity theft. 

Our course takes delegates on an easy-to-follow guided tour of good information security practice. It will arm them with knowledge that allows them to pro-actively defend their organisation from external threats. It will also teach them about the high level of scrutiny that all internal activity is under, wihch can help to deter insider threat.
