Why training in IT/information security?
IT security is not a specialised task, but a shared responsibility. When IT and information security are practised as a matter of course, everyone benefits: companies, customers and partners alike.
Our basic course on IT/information security clearly shows where attention is needed – whether in visitor management, mobile working or the secure handling of emails. This not only raises awareness of current threats, but above all enables participants to implement effective protective measures directly.
