What is the Falcon IT Services Cybersecurity Awareness Training Program
Perimeter systems have been hardened after years of security patching, a direct result of increased scrutiny. Hackers no longer view the perimeter as low-hanging fruit and have shifted their attention to softer targets: end users. Employees are the primary targets of cyber criminals seeking to infiltrate critical business systems. For this reason, employees must have cyber-awareness and play an active role in helping prevent cyber crime in the workplace.
Falcon IT Services offers comprehensive cybersecurity training to our client’s employees included as part of our managed service plans. Our cybersecurity training is designed to provide users with comprehensive cybersecurity training in three major areas of cyber-crime: physical security, phishing, and social engineering. It’s more than just a simple check-the-box training to satisfy insurance and regulatory requirements, our training program trains and tests employees, assesses their level of cyber awareness, and makes additional recommendations based on a holistic approach. In addition, our staff are tightly integrated into the process and help to identify users that may require additional training. The result is a program that helps your employees attain and refine the skills necessary to navigate the perils of what is modern cyberspace.
