Information Security Essentials
Enable staff to counter cyber security threats and protect sensitive information with our interactive elearning course
With so much important information now held in digital form, information security has become an issue that no organisation can afford to ignore. And the scale of the threat really can't be overstated: in a recent survey, more than 90% of organisations said that they'd suffered some form of cyber security incident in the previous year!
This is where our Information Security Essentials online training course can help. It's been designed to provide your staff with an understanding of the main cyber security threats and the practical things they can do to counter them. Using the course, you can help to ensure everyone in your organisation knows how to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information they work with.

The case studies enable you to contextualise and put into practice what has been learnt. Cylix training makes a refreshing change from other elearning.
