Overview

Ensure Your Team Understands the Importance of Cyber Security

It is vital that your employees understand the importance of cyber security and the dangers that may be present in your workplace, such as cyber threats, hackers, phishing emails, and phishing simulations.  

Legal Island’s Cyber Security Awareness eLearning course is tailored specifically to Northern Irish law and provides comprehensive compliance training for all employees on cyber security practices in the work environment.

Key Benefits of Cyber Security Awareness

Cyber security awareness among your employees is important for several reasons, especially to help minimise security threats and avoid data breaches.

  • Data Protection: Ensuring employees are aware of online safety practices will help protect sensitive data and personal information. Awareness will minimise threats for both your company and clients.
  • Compliance with Northern Irish Law: Many industries are now governed by strict regulations regarding data privacy and digital security. Cyber security training and guidance for your employees will ensure your company complies with regulations such as the GDPR.
  • Promotes Online Safety: Cyber security awareness training for employees in Northern Ireland educates on important digital security practices, such as data privacy and awareness of phishing attacks.
  • Protects Employee Security: As remote working becomes the norm, cyber threat awareness is essential to mitigate the human risk from cyber attacks.

Importance of Training

Why Cyber Security Training is Crucial for employees in Northern Ireland?

In today’s digital world, where many people work in hybrid or remote settings, sensitive and private information is shared and stored online.

Technology is everywhere and has become a fundamental part of modern life in recent years. We all rely on it at home and at work, so the importance of cyber security awareness cannot be overstated.

Increasing Threats in a Digital World

With so much information shared online, the threat of data breaches and phishing attacks is everywhere. Phishing scams are becoming increasingly harder to spot, so it’s important for your staff, especially those working online, to be aware of any threats and vulnerabilities within your business as early as possible.

Hybrid and Remote Work Security Risks

The vast migration towards remote working has meant many businesses and individuals are becoming more susceptible than ever to potential security threats and cyber crime.

Ensuring your staff are up-to-date with cyber security best practices and the latest updates to GDPR laws is imperative for protecting your company, as well as your staff and employees, from this ever-increasing online threat.

Economic and Geopolitical Impact on Cyber Security

Besides our increased reliance on online work, current global economic and geopolitical disruption has made us more susceptible than ever to the growing threat of cyber crime.  

Statistics on Cyber Attacks in Northern Ireland

Recent government statistics reveal that a staggering 39% of businesses experienced a cyber attack in 2022*, highlighting the importance of cyber security awareness training for your employees.

Strategic and Proactive Approaches to Cyber Security

Recovering from a cyber attack can be difficult and costly. As new security threats emerge every day, businesses must act with vigilance and be strategic and proactive in their approach to cyber security. 

Who Needs Cyber Security Training?

Cyber Security affects every individual within your organisation

While many assume cyber security is the sole responsibility of IT or digital departments, it’s important to remember that it affects every individual within your organisation.

Training for All Employees

With most individuals working online in some capacity, everyone has a responsibility to ensure the organisation complies with the latest laws and guidance regarding cyber security.

Our cyber security awareness training for employees in Northern Ireland provides comprehensive online security for employees at every level within your company, regardless of their role.

Importance of Day One Training

Advice from data protection experts is that cyber security training is completed on day one of employment to ensure all staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities from the outset to minimise the threat of cyber attacks.

Regular Refresher Courses

Cyber security awareness training doesn’t begin and end on day one. Criminals are continually creating new and increasingly clever scams.

So, our cyber security awareness course is regularly updated to ensure you and your employees are up-to-date with the latest threats and laws.

Human Error and Data Breaches

According to Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74% of all data breaches can be traced back to human error. Mistakes can always happen – however, ensuring that each and every individual has undergone up-to-date cyber security training can help you minimise the threat of fatal errors caused by lack of training.

Course Duration

How long does our Cyber Secruity Awareness course take?

The initial course will take no longer than 60 minutes to complete, including an assessment.  Each member of staff will receive their own personalised certificate upon successful completion.
