Cyber Security Training Courses

 

We want your business to be as secure as possible, and we are excited to offer this training to help make this a reality. The culture of security needs to be a top-down approach. Cyber Smart Consulting training courses aim to encourage business directors and leaders to take a serious approach to cyber security to protect the business, its stakeholders, and assets from the effects of a breach. Our strategy for implementing cyber awareness is based on a simple strategy: ‘tone from the top, message from the middle’. This means to set the scene within the upper ranks of management, allowing them to use their department heads to distribute awareness throughout their teams.

 

Whether you are new to cyber security or you are an experienced security professional looking to enhance your skills, we can help you or your organisation develop a training course tailored to your specific needs. Training is delivered by practicing cyber security consultants all of whom possess a minimum of 20 years in the implementation of Cyber Security and Information Assurance for global organisations.
