Cyber security is one of the most important issues of our time. It’s so important that in the 2013 State of the Union address, President Obama is promoting the notion of government sharing data about cyber threats with private companies to better combat the issue.

He said, “We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.” If cyber security is at the forefront of the nation’s security threat checklist, then it should also be an important aspect of every personal and business venture. Unfortunately, most private citizens and small businesses don’t pay as much attention to the threat as they should.

Importance of staff training

94% of businesses suffered from a security incident in the last year*

Educating employees will reduce the chances of your business becoming a victim of today's cyber security threats.

As we look at these security incidents in detail, we can identify one common factor - the human element. In almost all reported security incidents, the actions - either intentional or accidental - by staff in the compromised organisations led to a security breach. Security reports and surveys continue to show how the human element is a major contributor in successful cyber attacks.

At QA, we are passionate about security training. We want to demonstrate the importance of educating security professionals and business users to help everyone detect, deter and defend against the cyber threats that every business faces through a supportive, hands-on learning environment.
