One of the basic tenets of security is that a security system is as strong as its weakest point. The weakest point in information security is: the human power in general, the person himself. Therefore, it is highly important to continuously train our employees, since it is useless to invest significant amounts in our protection solutions, if cyberattacks, data loss, malfunctions occur through banal human errors and mistakes that should not have happened by default.
The majority of successful cyberattacks are due to some kind of human error or omission, which are exploited by attackers. Many times, attacks are based on the fact that one or more user will be careless or naively walking into the cyber-trap. In order to avoid these sometimes quite banal mistakes, it is essential to increase the level of information security awareness of our employees. This is an ongoing, regular task, as – as described in our first blog post – attack methods are constantly evolving, and if you want to keep up with the changes, you definitely need to introduce regular cybersecurity trainings for your employees. This can even be done online, the main thing is that the information reaches the employees and they learn from it as much as possible.
We undertake to hold data protection trainings, not only for the staff involved in data processing, but also for key professional areas, employees and managers, separately. It is important that data controllers and managers involved in data management are aware of the basics of data protection so that the chance of making mistakes can be minimized in this area as well.
As a CEO, it is important to know the threats our company faces when opening the door to cyberspace, because with this knowledge we can allocate our resources properly and decide on measures that are preventive. This way, if your company becomes the target of a cyberattack, you can recover sooner, suffer fewer financial losses, or even avoid these negative consequences altogether.
It is also important to be aware of legal expectations in the field of data protection, obligations and data protection principles. The proper application of theese not only reduces the chance of a possible data protection fine, but their combined and correct implementation also increases data security. Our expert colleagues deliver the knowledge that is essential for a manager in these two areas in a personal or online workshop.
