Every year, businesses of all sizes lose money to increasingly innovative cyber criminals. To exacerbate this problem, there are too few cyber security professionals globally to complete all the work required to protect and defend critical systems; the estimated gap is at least 1 million.
A lack of cyber professionals puts pressure on those accountable for IT, Security or Risk who struggle to cope with increasing demands when, after the bottom line, business priorities tend to lean towards accessibility and availability of information, rather than ensuring a workforce is cyber aware to better defend its assets securely.
There is also a common misperception that staff within IT related fields naturally understand information security; traditionally the IT department (or outsourced provider) has been invariably focussed solely on data and system availability and usability.
Training can be expensive but cyber security education is critical for key decision makers, and staff responsible for implementing cyber awareness and effective IT security.
We offer a range of courses—delivered by experienced and qualified operational staff—that provide attendees with real-world knowledge, enabling them to understand and respond to cyber threats.
Our Cyber Security Fundamentals training course is the perfect starting point for those who need to identify cyber risk within business operations.
Attendees will walk away with the fundamental knowledge required to develop and implement a well-informed, strategic cyber security plan with significant relevance to business risk.
We can also deliver a closed course onsite or at specific locations on request.

If you don’t know who Nara Smith is, I’m sorry to say you may just be living under a rock. Nara Smith has simply taken over my Instagram and TikTok feed with her ‘what I cooked for my husband today’, ‘what my toddlers ate today’ or my favourite video format, ‘my husband was craving [insert insane request] so I made it from scratch’.
Explaining how digital incidents severely impact the real world can be difficult, but we are increasingly seeing cyber incidents that illustrate how malicious actors can impact our daily lives.
