The digitisation of businesses in all sectors and industries has changed the way we all work. This has presented new challenges and new opportunities. One of the challenges is cybersecurity.<\/p>\n
The fact is, every business is at risk of becoming a victim of a cyber-attack. This includes everything from one-person operations and micro businesses up to large businesses and international corporations.<\/p>\n
Therefore, it is essential that all businesses take steps to reduce cybersecurity risks. This includes:<\/p>\n
Another step that businesses should take to reduce cybersecurity risks is to implement staff training. The best way of doing this is through e-learning.<\/p>\n
The biggest threat that most businesses face in relation to cybersecurity is social engineering. Social engineering can take many forms, but it usually involves fraudsters, hackers, and criminals tricking someone who has access to your company\u2019s IT systems. The person being tricked is often an employee.<\/p>\n
According to research by the US company Verizon<\/a>, 93 percent of data breaches in 2018 occurred as a result of social engineering.<\/p>\n In other words, your employees are a crucial line of defence when it comes to protecting your business from cybersecurity threats. Even with enterprise-level security infrastructure in place, an unwanted third-party can still gain access if a member of your team gives them a password or clicks on a link that secretly installs malicious software.<\/p>\n Therefore, it\u2019s important your employees have a thorough understanding of cyber-security. This includes:<\/p>\n Cybersecurity training is one of the least expensive measures your business can take to reduce your risk of becoming the victim of an attack. Using e-learning as the delivery method reduces your costs even further.<\/p>\n In addition, you can quickly and easily distribute e-learning training courses anywhere in the UAE or elsewhere in the world. Furthermore, all employees receive exactly the same training, removing the inconsistencies that occur when you have multiple trainers delivering classroom-based sessions.<\/p>\n Finally, it is easy to modularise e-learning courses which lets you quickly and cheaply update your cybersecurity training with revised or new information. You can also add new modules as new threats become known.<\/p>\n\n
