About the course
The biggest security risk to business is often the human factor. Our one-day, hands-on workshop is designed to turn your staff from a vulnerability into a proactive line of defense. We move beyond outdated checklists and jargon-filled presentations to provide a clear, engaging, and practical training experience.
This course highlights the most significant and current threats to your business, including sophisticated phishing and social engineering attacks. Through interactive discussions and real-world case studies, your team will gain a deeper understanding of the risks and learn a set of sensible, achievable actions they can implement immediately to protect themselves and your organization. The content is fully customizable to address your team's specific roles and industry-specific challenges.
Instructor-led online and in-house face-to-face options are available - as part of a wider customised training programme, or as a standalone workshop, on-site at your offices or at one of many flexible meeting spaces in the UK and around the World.
