Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Empower your staff with Cybersecurity Awareness & Certification
It is Cybersecurity Awareness Month and as organisations look to safeguard confidential data and support the growth of their business, we focus on the importance of engaging all employees to play their part in bolstering the security and resilience of the organisation – and the connection between Cybersecurity Awareness and Certification.
Do you wish to
- Minimise the chances of a cyberattack being successful?
- Empower your employees with the latest cybersecurity knowledge?
- Demonstrate to clients your commitment to protecting their information?
Cybersecurity awareness and certification can help you achieve these goals. New technologies bring security challenges that need to be understood and strategies adapted. To achieve this, your workforce requires continuous training to stay current on industry trends, best practices and regulations.
Create a robust culture of security
Cybercriminals continue to target employees with social engineering tactics. Therefore it is key that anyone (including, and perhaps especially, non-cybersecurity professionals) that has access to sensitive information knows how to handle it securely and how to follow best practices to protect it. They should be given the knowledge to identify and report any suspicious activities to allow the organisation to respond effectively to a potential breach. Cybersecurity Awareness training integrates security into all roles, forming a vital part of an organisation’s cybersecurity strategy. To be successful, security needs to be the responsibility of everyone.
Elevate Cybersecurity Awareness with Certification training
Certified awareness training offers organisations a way to ensure that the content is comprehensive and current and that the material is in line with industry standards.
A cybersecurity certification ensures organisations receive updated, quality content developed by a respected institution. The assessment or exam at the end of training ensures that participants have acquired the necessary skills and are ready to put into practice what they have learned. ISC2’s Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) provides a reputable security awareness course that helps empower the critical human element. ISC2 is the world’s leading Cybersecurity Professional Organisation, and its information security certifications are recognised globally as the gold standard for excellence. What makes Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) unique is that it requires no experience or formal education in Cybersecurity.
Expand cybersecurity expertise within the organisation
As organisations look to reinforce cybersecurity expertise to safeguard their confidential data and support the growth of their business, finding talent can be challenging. In offering employees a certification in cybersecurity, new cybersecurity talent that may already exist within the organisation can be identified and nurtured. This is a smart way to build strong teams with individuals who already understand your systems, processes and culture.
