NetUnity  Security Training

Security Training 

The CS/FBI Computer Crime and Security Survey 2002 found that 90 percent of respondents (primarily large corporations and government agencies) detected computer security breaches. Of that group, 43 percent were able to quantify a total of $455,848,000 in financial losses.

The importance of internal security policies, on security training for employees, and on social awareness cannot be over emphasized.  IT managers reading these stories probably roll their eyes and think, "Oh no, not again." How much security common sense do your end users have ? If an end user doesn't realize you have to remove a mouse from its packaging in order to use it, can you realistically expect him or her to realize that scribbling a password on a Post-It note tacked to a computer monitor is not what you meant by "safe-keeping?"

Along with the IT security technology components and policies, comes user education. NetUnity strongly recommend giving security awareness programs to your user community. The goals of these security awareness programs are to combat "social engineering", secure the desktop, improve the password strength of user accounts, reduce virus infection, and emphasize the need to have limited access. Your future plans for these security awareness programs are to formalise them as part of new employee training and to have an interactive presentation on the Intranet.

NetUnity focus has always been to produce bespoke Security programs for end-user awareness tailored to individual clients circumstances.
