Do you need to train your staff about IT security?

A common question we get asked is, do you think we need to train our staff about IT security?

And our reply, definitely yes.

Data breaches and hacks are becoming commonplace these days.

From small business right through to large multi-national corporations, no one is safe from cyber attacks.

There’s a wide range of information security protection available for a business, but the truth is most of the targeting is aimed at you and your employees.

So, it is crucial that everyone in your business understand the role they have to play in protecting your sensitive information and the data of your customers or clients.

Managed IT Services can provide a certain level of security for a business to protect digital assets and the data of their customers too.

But this doesn’t protect a business from someone clicking on a dodgy link in an email or creating an easy to hack password.

This has to come from constant security education and training programs and keeping up with the latest security trends.

And this is where Greendata can help your with your business IT security and cyber threats holistically.

Here’s some of the areas we can work on with you and your staff to help improve your data security.
