A company’s cyber security is only as strong as its weakest link. A survey by the Association of Corporate Counsel found that 30% of all cyber breaches are a result of employee error. Many of these errors are due to carelessness or ignorance. This cyber security course challenges users to reassess their attitude towards cyber security. It educates users on the scope and sophistication of hackers and drives behavioural change and safer cyber behaviours.
