Information Technology and Security Education is a valuable opportunity to expand the knowledge and skill base of your employees. It provides organizations and individuals with benefits that make the cost and time a worthwhile investment.

Cybersecurity affects every sector worldwide, and companies must turn to their staff to augment traditional security solutions. In the past, the traditional firewall could stop hackers from coming in from the outside, but nowadays, hackers manipulate employees to circumvent traditional firewalls. The way to fight back is to arm employees with knowledge and training and to work with them to build a resilient and knowledgeable human firewall. A human firewall is the real-world equivalent of a traditional network firewall.

To create human firewalls, human beings (employees) are given the tools to recognize and thwart cyber threats. The human firewall is built on continuous Security Awareness Training, giving everyone the knowledge to stop hackers.
Providing the necessary IT and Security education and training creates an overall knowledgeable staff with employees that can fit into each other’s job roles as the need arises, collaborate with team members with little supervision from external or internal team.
