50 billion devices will be connected to the internet by 2020, and these increasing connections are already changing the security landscape by exponentially expanding the attack surface. Security breaches are born from a weak link in the security chain and hackers are committed to finding these weak links. How prepared is your company?

Presenter: Nick Wilding - Head of Cyber Resilience, AXELOS Global Best Practice

All too often cyber attackers find it easier to influence and engage with our staff than we do. The fact is that the majority of successful cyber-attacks succeed because of human error - cyber resilience is fundamentally a human and not just a technology issue. We need to change behaviors, providing the simple, practical guidance that all our people need to make the right decisions at the right time. RESILIA™ is a portfolio of certified training, awareness learning and leadership engagement tools designed to put people at the center of your cyber resilience strategy. Are your people your most effective defense to cyber-attacks? This informative session will guide you on embedding and sustaining the behavior change required across the organization for effective Cyber Resilience.

Presenter: Warren Bonner - Technical Instructor New Horizons Computer Learning Centers

A recent study by CompTIA cited human error as the most common cause of information security breaches, with some 80% of respondents believing this human error was caused by a lack of security knowledge, training, or failure to follow security procedures.

To eliminate threats throughout the organization, security must reach beyond the IT department. A company must evaluate employee exit strategies (HR), remote project protocol, on- and off-site data storage practices, and more—then establish and enforce new policies and procedures and physical safeguards appropriate to the findings.

Join Technical Instructor Warren Bonner as he discusses several ways your business can help prevent a data breach, including:

• Conducting a periodic risk assessment
• Educating employees about appropriate handling and protection of sensitive data
• Establishing a comprehensive data loss protection plan
• Providing training and technical support to mobile workers

Would you entrust your company's cybersecurity to only two IT employees, or would you rather verify that ALL of your employees are trained to recognize and avoid cyber threats?

Training your IT team to analyze threats and proactively defend networks is critical to protecting your organization, but it's not the whole picture. As we focus on cybersecurity awareness throughout the month of October, it's the perfect time to talk about how every employee plays a key role in maintaining your organization's cybersecurity. In this webinar, we will walk you through a recommended cybersecurity training path that we created to help you determine what type of cybersecurity training different levels of employees (end users, IT staff, and IT Cybersecurity staff) should be focused on obtaining. We’ll also review ways to continuously verify comprehension of cybersecurity awareness knowledge, and how to structure a credentialing program in a way that encourages learning and long-term application of knowledge (vs. the traditional method of cramming for a test and forgetting the knowledge thereafter).
