Information Security Awareness Course

The business world is becoming increasingly computerized with several attendant benefits. New innovations such as data science, business intelligence and artificial intelligence is taking organizational capabilities   beyond   what would have been deemed impossible decades ago.

The bad news is that these breath-taking technological disruptions in business transactions  and  models  have also introduced IT risks with possible  losses  that can reach  colossal proportions. A knee-jerk response by many organizations is to train and equip IT, auditors and internal control officers while ignoring the generality of the employees.

Research has shown that people are the weakest link in the security chain. Therefore, it has become very important for ALL employees and departments to be trained on Information Security.
