For smaller businesses and organisations that do not have a dedicated IT department, measures need to be in place to ensure online security.
Cyber threats are not just aimed at big businesses. Any device connected to the internet is at risk of being hacked or infected with a virus or ransomware. Online security is not a one-off issue; once you set up controls and safeguards, technology keeps evolving, as do those who look to abuse it. Keeping a company’s sensitive information secure is essential.
This course is beneficial for both employees who manage company data and those looking to strengthen their understanding of internet security.
