Overview

Ensure Your Team Understands the Importance of Cyber Security in Ireland

It is vital that your employees have an understanding of the importance of workplace cyber security and the dangers that may be present online.

Legal Island’s Cyber Security Awareness training for employees in Ireland is tailored specifically to be compliant with Irish law. It provides comprehensive compliance training for all employees on cyber security practices in the work environment.

Key Benefits of Cyber Security Awareness

Cyber security awareness among your employees is important for a number of reasons, especially to help minimise security threats and avoid data breaches.

Data Protection: Ensuring your employees have a good understanding of online safety practices will help protect sensitive data and personal information. Awareness will minimise threats for both your company and clients.
Stay Compliant with Irish Law: Many industries are now governed by strict regulations when it comes to data privacy and digital security. Offering cyber security training for your employees will ensure your company complies with regulations such as GDPR.
Promotes Online Safety: Cyber security awareness training for employees in Ireland offers education about important digital security practices, such as password management and awareness of phishing scams.
Protects Employee Security: As more and more people work remotely, cyber security awareness is essential for hybrid work security and remote work protection.

Importance of Training

Why is Cyber Security training important for employees in Ireland?

In our digital age, awareness of online security practices is more important than ever in order to avoid cyber threats and phishing attacks and mitigate the risk of data breaches.

Technology has become a fundamental part of modern life that we all rely on both at home and at work. So, it’s essential for your staff to be aware of the latest updates in cyber security awareness.

Increasing Threats in a Digital World

With so much information shared online, the threat of data breaches and phishing attacks is everywhere. Scams are becoming increasingly harder to spot, so it’s important for your staff, especially those working online, to be aware of any threats as early as possible.

Hybrid and Remote Work Security Risks

The move to hybrid and remote working in recent years has led to an even greater dependence on technology in the workplace to facilitate effective communication between employees.

This means more sensitive information is shared online. Thus, ensuring employees are well-trained in practices such as creating strong passwords and avoiding sending sensitive data publically is more important than ever.

Economic and Geopolitical Impact on Cyber Security

Besides our increased reliance on online working, current global economic and geopolitical disruption has led to us becoming more susceptible than ever to the growing threat of cyber crime.

Statistics on Cyber Attacks in Ireland

As new security threats emerge every day, businesses need to be strategic and proactive in their approach to cyber security.

Recent government statistics reveal that a staggering 1 in 5 Irish firms experienced a cyber attack or data breach in 2022*.

Strategic and Proactive Approaches to Cyber Security

Recovering from a cyber attack can be difficult and costly, so our cyber security course aims to make your employees subject matter experts to avoid these attacks from the outset. Consequently, encouraging a proactive approach that helps mitigate potential attacks.

Who Needs Cyber Security Training?

Cyber Security affects every individual within your organisation

While many assume cyber security is the sole responsibility of IT or digital departments, it’s important to remember that it affects every individual within your organisation.

Not Just for IT Departments

Many may assume cyber security is the sole responsibility of IT or digital departments. However, it’s important to acknowledge the very real human risk and remember that it affects every individual within your organisation.

Training for All Employees

With most individuals working online in some capacity, everyone has a responsibility to ensure the organisation remains cyber secure.

Our cyber security awareness training for employees in Ireland provides comprehensive training for every employee in your company.

Importance of Day One Training

Advice from cyber security experts is that cyber security training is completed on day one of employment and then refreshed regularly to ensure all staff are aware of their roles and responsibilities in protecting your organisation and themselves from cyber attacks.

Regular Refresher Courses

Cyber security awareness training doesn’t begin and end on day one. Criminals are continually creating new and increasingly clever scams.

So, our cyber security training course includes regular refresher courses and modules to ensure you and your employees are up-to-date with the latest threats and laws.

Human Error and Data Breaches

According to Verizon’s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report, 74% of all data breaches can be traced back to human error. While mistakes can happen, ensuring that every individual is aware of the latest best practices will help minimise this risk.

Course Duration

How long does Cyber Security Awareness training take?

The initial course will take no longer than 60 minutes to complete, including an assessment. Each member of staff will receive their own personalised certificate upon successful completion.
