Most organisations have protected their information well with firewalls, IDS-systems, all manner of authentication-mechanisms, etc. But how well protected are you if your employee brings in a virus via his laptop, divulges passwords via Trojans or has someone piggyback inside? All this often is out of ignorance. Social Engineering remains the method par excellence for someone who really wants to do harm. It’s not for nothing that in their Payment Card Industries (PCI) Data Security Standard that is in force for so-called ‘merchants’ (each organisation that accepts credit card payments), the Credit Card companies oblige that personnel be trained in and is aware of the risks.
Course Contents
In the Security Awareness training we teach your employees what the practices of hackers and other malicious persons are and help them develop a healthy amount of suspicion.
Every training will consist of at least:
• Eye opener (preferably examples from the own organisation, gathered in advance in consultation with you, by social engineering of the trainer)
• Hackers’/frauds’ motives
• Hackers’/frauds’ methods
• Countermeasures, raising awareness
In addition to this it is possible to create the exact content of the training course together with you, as the need for training can differ per organisation (security policy), per sector and per job group.
Target Group
Each employee with access to sensitive information in any way whatsoever (i.e. including the cleaning lady who has access to the server room), is a potential victim of social engineering and belongs to this course’s target group.
Course Objective
By way of the PCI Data Security Standard the Credit Card companies have taken a next step in the perpetual war against fraud. This standard describes a framework which the security of information systems must meet and which is applicable to the so-called ‘Merchants’. Part of this standard is that personnel of a Merchant must be trained regarding the need for information security. We herewith invite you for a consultation to see which method best suits your organisation.
