What would someone learn about your firm from an unlocked laptop, a reused password or a forwarded email? Quite a lot, which is why information security is everyone’s job, not just IT. This in-depth course gives EU staff a practical routine for protecting what they handle every day.
Information classification decides how carefully something must be treated. Personal data and confidential information need the strongest care, supported by access controls, data encryption and secure communications, with portable devices and VPN usage covered for remote working. Email security and physical security matter as much as technology, and ISO 27001 is the supporting framework. If something goes wrong, speed counts. Staff need to recognise malware and spot insider dealing, know what reporting breaches involves, and use whistleblowing channels when a concern can’t go through the usual route. Monitoring, threat assessments and business continuity plans help the company recover.
