1 Day
Leeds 30th Jul 2024
16th Aug 2024
5.5 hours

Course Overview

Background: Cyber security threats have never been more dangerous, and yet businesses continue to suffer the consequences from loss of data to losses in the millions. Individually we can help protect our businesses, as well as our personal exposure.  

Development: Cyber threats come in all shapes and sizes, some with denominations we have never heard of such as digital forest fires, to new and upcoming vulnerabilities stemming from the use of AI. Nobody is immune to threat of cyber-attacks, yet most employees are the first line of defence.

Description:

This 1 day course is designed for all types of business and employees, especially those who use tech such as laptops & mobile phones in their everyday roles. We cover the basics from proper use of basic security measures, to understanding the dangers of social engineering, which is still the weakest link in most companies, but also the more modern dangers that mean every linked device is a point of entry for bad actors, rogue states, and hackers.

Students are supported by real life case studies & key advice and learning to take a more pro-active approach to security.

This course suits:

Any person involved in any organisation public & private whose job role involves the use of any linked devices.

This course qualifies for Continuous Professional Development hours. Learn more about CPD
