E-learning – Cybersecurity and Information Security: Practice Instead of Legal Paragraphs
 

Cybersecurity is today critically important for every organization that processes data. Just take a moment to think about what a successful cyberattack (e.g. ransomware) would mean for your organization. Would your organization be able to continue operating? What financial losses would such an attack cause? Educate your employees, because behind every successful cyberattack there is always a human factor.

Since we consider training in this area to be the most effective tool for raising awareness and professional preparedness of employees, as well as for preventing cybersecurity incidents, we have prepared an e-learning option for employee training. This approach saves travel costs (the lecturer does not travel to you), eliminates the need to organize employees at a specific time, and includes a final test that demonstrates the level of acquired knowledge.

Good day,
I cannot help myself but need to praise the quality and content of the training. In my opinion, it is excellent and will certainly help our people better orient themselves in the cyber space. Today I listened to both parts. I also completed the test - 100% on the first attempt - but it definitely requires thinking through the questions. Thank you once again.

E-learning – GDPR Regulation in Practice: Responsibilities of Employees and Managers
 

Section 46(1)(b) of Act No. 18/2018 Coll., or Article 39(1)(b) of the EU GDPR Regulation, refers to raising awareness and providing professional training to persons involved in processing operations—namely your employees who, in the course of their work, come into contact with personal data.

As we consider training in this area to be the best tool for increasing awareness and professional preparedness of authorized persons, as well as for preventing security incidents, we offer e-learning training for employees. This saves travel costs (the lecturer does not travel to you), removes the need to organize people at a specific time, and includes a final test that proves the level of acquired knowledge.
