Cyber Security Awareness

Cyber Security, data protection, information privacy. By these or any other names, the importance is the same. We must protect our confidential information. Our trade secrets. Our proprietary data. Our protected health information. Our personally identifiable information. Because cybercriminals are out there, everywhere. They are working all day, every day to steal this information from our computers and devices. And even though our IT professionals are building bigger walls, breaches still occur, every day. Because the technical walls we build are only part of our cyber defense. More and more, breaches are occurring because of the behaviors of our employees. Think about it, our employees have their own online behaviors, and most of them are totally unaware of the cyber dangers around them. They are the weak points in our cyber defenses. And as the number of employees increases, so do the opportunities for cyber criminals have to break into our networks, spread malware across our enterprises, and steal our confidential information.

The most efficient way to mitigate these risks is with enterprise-wide awareness and guidance. Our cyber awareness and data protection program was created with that goal in mind. Just what you need to know and nothing more.
