Information Security

  • 35 Minutes
  • For all staff
  • jurisdiction Global

Loss or theft of commercially sensitive information damages revenue, reputation and customer trust, and can bring fines or criminal prosecution. This 35-minute global course covers why information security is critical, the consequences of a breach, and classification, data and network security, access control and electronic communications.

Security standards vary between the markets a global organisation operates in, but attackers do not adjust their methods to match. One weak jurisdiction becomes the entry point for the whole group. Delivering consistent training everywhere removes that asymmetry, and it satisfies the staff awareness requirements that appear in almost every client and supplier security assessment.
