Security Awareness Training
What is Security Awareness Training?
Our training package is designed and delivered by cyber experts giving you access to the most up-to-date information in an ever-changing cyber landscape.
Security Awareness Training is used to prevent and mitigate the risk of cyber attackers tricking or scamming your staff.
The training was very accessible and easy to digest for a team that does not have a technical background.
It's great to have increased understanding - and power - to safeguard our charity's work, data and finance.
