ECON TEL trains employees how to deal with cyber attacks
We are online every day: We surf the web to do some research, use online tools to organize work and receive numerous emails. It can quickly happen that you click on a link — and computer viruses or malware enter the systems unnoticed.
Cyber attacks: serious threat to personal data
Careless handling of incoming emails can be a problem, especially for companies. Every company processes so-called personal data — data from its customers, partners and employees. According to the GDPR, this data may not be passed on to third parties. If a company's IT infrastructure is attacked and damaged by this attack, personal data quickly falls into the hands of hackers.
Money losses for companies due to cyber attacks
In addition to stealing personal data, cyber attacks pose further risks for companies. Restoring IT systems after a hacker attack requires an enormous amount of personnel, time and costs. In many areas, shutting down the computer network leads to operational disruptions and significant revenue losses.
Cyber security training helps ward off hacker attacks
It is therefore particularly important to sensitize employees to the risks associated with cyber attacks and to teach them how to protect themselves or the company against them. At ECON TEL, we attach great importance to the security of our customers' and partners' personal data: All colleagues are handled by the provider perseus trained on cyber security. As part of short learning and training videos, they learn how to identify attacks and prevent damage. At the end of each topic block, what has been learned is tested by means of a test. After the training has been successfully completed, employees receive a certificate that attests to their knowledge.
conclusion
In times of advancing digitalization, companies should attach importance to their cyber security in order to avoid negative consequences such as lost sales and GDPR violations. When employees are trained on cyber security, they identify attacks more quickly and minimize damage to the company and its customers and partners. Training and training from external providers can be used to sensitize the employee base to threats and risks and to strengthen understanding of the security of IT systems.
