Who is the course intended for?
The Cyber Security course is intended for all workers who use IT devices (PC, laptops, tablets, smartphone, etc…) both in office and in smart working/remote working.
Why this course?
Cybercrime (whose aim is stealing information, money or both) causes losses in revenue, clients, reputation and it results in additional unprevented expenses in order to remedy attack related damages and it may endanger the survival of the company itself. Moreover, besides material consequences, it causes physical harm to the workers involved.
Reference regulations for data and information protection impose a series of obligations to companies which manage data and information belonging to other companies, clients or private individuals. This guarantees that data processing is carried out with respect for each party’s rights, particularly as far as safety and data protection are concerned.
Companies that manage any type of data must preserve confidentiality, integrity and availability, in order not to let such information be violated through Cybercrime attacks from third unauthorized parties.
This course is meant to give an overview on Cyber Security focusing on risks and responsibilities related to data and information treatment when using IT devices (PC, laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc…)
The contents go over the essential role that users play in such situations: participating actively and being able to distinguish different attacks are basic elements that ensure a first defence from cyber-crime. It’s time to stop thinking that cyber-crime is solely about single workers: the course illustrates crime examples and good practices that could potentially prevent and stem attacks.
The course defines the most common attacks and goes over wrong behaviours that let and facilitate cyber-crime.
Lastly, the course outlines good practices that users can follow in order to avoid such threats.
