Studies show that nearly three quarters of all corporate security breaches are the direct result of human error or inappropriate disclosure.

Secure Mobile Computing

Nearly every employee in your organization has at least one mobile computing device they use in the normal course of business, whether it’s a laptop, PDA, or cell phone. And while your staff may employ basic security methods, like strong passwords, when they are in the office they may not realize all the ways they put the company at risk when they are on the road, or at the local coffee shop.

Our Secure Mobile Computing eLearning course covers the crucial security vulnerabilities your organization’s staff faces while working out of the office —lost or stolen laptops, compromised confidential information, and unsecured networks. This course provides simple strategies they can use to protect the company’s information assets.

As the IT department you are the backbone of your organization, enabling the tools and policies necessary to conduct business. One of the hardest tasks you face is protecting and securing corporate information and intellectual property. Just a tiny hole in the fortress you’ve erected can negatively impact the company’s reputation, sales, and customer trust.  Firewalls, antivirus solutions, VPNs, and written policies are not enough to fully thwart an attack.

Every individual within the organization unknowingly is a potential breach for the security measures you’ve implemented. In fact, human error accounts for three-quarters of incidents where sensitive data is lost. By training all staff on the essentials of security awareness – whether its information security, customer data and payment information, or mobile computing – you can greatly increase those security measures and lessen the chances of a catastrophic breach.

VantagePoint Security’s eLearning products provide a cost-effective way to educate staff on the many areas where a company’s information security may be breached.  Our online courses help employees to understand their role in the company’s security measures, and give them the tools so they can develop good data protection habits and recognize potential threats.
