Cyber awareness training is a vital part of an organisation’s information security measures. Cyber-crime costs UK businesses and organisations a lot of money (Almost £30 billion per year to be more precise) and causes massive disruption. In fact, each year around half of all UK businesses has at least one security breach.

We are all responsible for keeping information safe when using computers and similar devices, so this Cyber security eLearning course has been designed for everyone to use. It includes some straightforward practical steps that will help to protect computers, networks, programmes and data from unauthorised access, helping to safeguard the systems and information we use.

Cyber attacks are more prevalent than ever before, with ransomware attacking organisations such as the NHS, airports, banks, and government departments; the need for organisations to implement cyber security training is obvious. The Cyber Security course can be completed in just 40 minutes and helps you to comply with current legislation.
