Cybersecurity Training

Since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, many employees are working from home. The need for e-learning and webinar online training has skyrocketed. CFISA is now providing online webinar security awareness training and cybersecurity training that will help to reduce the risk while working from home.

Cybersecurity training has become more critical than ever for businesses of all sizes. Data breaches and hacking take place at all levels in a company. This includes your front-line employees who may not fully understand their role in protecting your company’s vital assets, customer information, and IT systems. As the Equifax and Target breaches of the past highlight, it’s important that every member of your staff be prepared.

Cybersecurity Training for Employees

Webinar and on site Cybersecurity training for employees is more than preparing your IT team with the latest anti-virus software and security best practices. Since the IT department makes up just a small fraction of your company, it’s critical that every staff member understands cybersecurity threats and how to protect themselves and your company from an attack.

Our webinar & in person cybersecurity training programs for employees helps protect your business against evolving IT threats. From our training, your team will learn:

• New policies and procedures for handling sensitive information
• How to identify and prevent cybersecurity threats
• Cybersecurity best practices including strong password recommendations
• Learning about social engineering and phishing scams

Benefits of Outsourcing Cybersecurity Training to Experts

When you hire your company’s IT staff, you look for web development, corporate IT security, or programming experts. While your IT staff furthers their expertise on your company’s internal IT infrastructure, they don’t have the opportunity to see the new cybersecurity threats that impact other companies. They don’t have the chance to learn about how other companies reduce their risk or remediate threats.

By outsourcing your company’s cybersecurity training to cybersecurity experts, your whole team will undergo training facilitated by an expert in current best practices and risks. This expert will have experience from working with different companies and could identify overlooked risks to proactively protect your company’s data and systems. Even if only your IT staff attended the training, your company could benefit.

Online Cybersecurity Training

Our collection of online cybersecurity training enables your employees to learn what they need to know about cybersecurity on their own schedule. Employees can access online training when they have downtime, instead of having to set aside part of a workday when they may have other business matters to attend to. Online cybersecurity training offers an affordable way to ensure that every employee has access to the same lessons. These lessons work well as part of your company’s onboarding process or as a part of annual training. All CFISA e-learning training course are designed to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) Section 508.

We currently offer the following online cybersecurity training courses:
