Cyber Security and your Organisation: from the Board down

Templar Executives will run a three hour evening training session aimed at raising general Cyber Security awareness. This free session will be focused on lifting the awareness levels of Cyber Security among professionals working in technology jobs and industries. The aim is to make people more ‘cyber aware’ in their jobs, equipping them with knowledge which is increasingly in demand from employers, and increasing their ability to contribute more greatly to the cyber security agenda of the organisations they work for.

The session will address:

Outlining what we mean by the term Cyber Security and the current context, including the political agenda; why cyber security is so important and why it is a cross-cutting issue;

Lexicon
Unpacking the terms used associated with Cyber Security, to facilitate better understanding and de-mystify any jargon;

Threat and Situational Awareness
Outlining the threats posed from malicious and non-malicious insiders through to corporate and state-sponsored attacks; many real-world examples will be used to illustrate to attendees the threats and risks their organisations could be facing;
