Preventing Data Breaches

Everyone in the workplace has a role to play in information security. The first step in reducing the risk of data breaches is to learn what they are and be aware of how they typically occur, so that appropriate measures can be taken to prevent them from taking place in the future.

Every day, new headlines emerge about cyberattacks on organisations of all sizes, highlighting just how common and widespread unauthorised access and misuse are.

Cybercriminals routinely exploit simple human error to gain access to systems and data. As their attacks become more sophisticated, it is more important than ever to provide everyone with adequate training on how to protect themselves and their organisations.

GRC Solutions’ Cybersecurity course provides practical, in-depth training into today’s key security issues. It aims to make learners more conscious and careful in their online working habits, equipping them with practical tips that will help to make organisations more resilient in the face of the major cyber threats, from phishing and business email compromise to ransomware and Zoom-bombing.

Powerful case studies and scenarios featuring Local Government-specific examples, and updated regularly to be current and engaging, place the risks in context. A stunning visual design – accessible on desktop, tablet and mobile – provides an engaging learner experience that draws attention to the main concepts.
