Cybersecurity Training

The biggest cybersecurity risk your business faces is your employees. At Advantage Industries, we provide businesses in the Baltimore Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, DC areas with effective cybersecurity training and tools to reduce this risk.

Do You Need Cybersecurity Training?

It looked like a genuine email from someone the employee works with, sending them a file to open and review. What happened next nearly infected the organization’s entire system with malware. The cost to eradicate and clean up the socially engineered threat? Thousands of dollars plus lost productivity, lost revenue, potential business closure, and perhaps most important, the damage to your credibility and professional status. A lot of businesses in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and Baltimore Maryland Area turn IT services providers to get Cybersecurity training for their staff.
To combat and protect your organization’s sensitive data, you have decided it is time to educate your employees. At Advantage Industries, our cybersecurity training consultants understand your concerns. Contact us, and we will guide your staff to stop, spot, and report cybersecurity threats immediately.

What is Cybersecurity Training?

Cybersecurity training provides an individual, group, or an organization’s designated personnel, comprehensive and ongoing security training. The training will also cover cybersecurity countermeasures and cyber intrusion awareness techniques.
Each user will experience different levels of intrusion attempts from large-scale, to a disastrous event, to a single subtle attack that gets overlooked but is harmful. The training focuses on preventing cyber-attacks, protecting operation systems and data, to detecting and recognizing subtle clues, and the authorized steps to combat an intrusion.

What Are Socially Engineered Threats?

Socially engineered threats, also known as SET, are designed by cyber attackers. They trick a person or employee into unsuspectingly giving authorized access to your organization’s confidential information.
The typical socially engineered threats are phishing emails, voicemails, SMS messages, and found physical media such as USB or SD card. The types of SET attacks each staff member gets trained to spot are Baiting, Phishing, Pretexting, Quid Pro Quo, Spear Phishing, and Tailgating threats.

Cybersecurity Training That Combats Cyber Intrusion and Social Engineering Threats

By their design, these threats rely on fooling unsuspecting and untrained employees or co-workers. Without ongoing Cybersecurity Training, a staff member unknowingly grants access to secure data which could result in financial fraud to your organization. But, you can fight these attempts that slip through your security gateways unnoticed.
To guard against every facet of cyber intrusion and social-engineering threats, Advantage Industries provides Cybersecurity Training. Your employees will discover how to identify and report potential risks before they happen.
