Online Training and Development in Information Security

Integrated Security
The responsibility for securing an organisation’s information assets is not confined to the IT department: the entire organisation needs to support the principles of:

  • Confidentiality – protecting information from unauthorised access;
  • Integrity – preventing data from being corrupted;
  • Availability – ensuring that authorised users have access to information in a reliable and timely manner;
  • Accountability – maintaining systems for tracing actions to their source when information has been compromised.
 
With the ever increasing number of security breaches arising from malicious attack, flawed IT systems and employee carelessness, the need for sound policies toward information security is more pressing than ever. Our training material is prepared by leading experts in security and e-learning. It is designed to give you profiles of ‘knowledge gaps’ and ‘at risk’ groups that represent security threats. Upon completion of our programmes, you will be creating a secure workplace that is protected against the reputational damage that follows in the wake of a security breach.

Sound policies and training programmes in Information Security have never been more important, given a number of key trends:

  • The proliferation of data storage options in which vast quantities of valuable and often sensitive data can travel as e-mail attachments or transferred to portable devices;
  • The outsourcing of functional activities to third parties who are given access to data concerning customers, staff and commercially sensitive projects;
  • The increased popularity of social networking sites on the Internet where personal data can be exploited by the online criminal;
  • The rise and growing sophistication of organised online crime that is finding more ingenious ways to access systems and steal data for financial gain.

The E-Security Exchange addresses these and other challenges through the delivery of learning and development resources that are designed to create safe networks and a culture that is vigilant towards a wide range of security threats.
