Map and DirectionsHuman error is the root cause of 95% of data breaches (IBM). This means that the majority of individuals are not competent in the area of safe computing practices. The average cost of each individual stolen business record is $201, with the average number of stolen records being 29,087. These figures result in an average cost of a cybersecurity breach being somewhere north of $5.8 million (Ponemon). Take a look at your data or customer records and evaluate your potential risk. That’s a lot to lose.
In this workshop, participants will identify many of the common risks involved in using conventional end-user technology, as well as ways to use it safely, to protect yourself from those risks.
CyberSAFE, a Logical Operations course available through New Horizons at Logical Operations, allows organizations to increase their security posture quickly and with minimal investment by ensuring that end-users are equipped with the knowledge necessary to be good stewards of their organizations’ data. This workshop is designed for non-technical end-users of computers, mobile devices, networks, and the Internet, enabling employees of any organization to use technology more securely to minimize digital risks.
