Security Awareness Advisor

IE'S SECURITY AWARENESS ADVISOR
Are your employees the first line of defense?
Attackers have long known that it's far easier to hack (or dupe) the human behind the keyboard than to hack the computer. A successful breach of your environment allows an attacker to establish themselves undetected and slowly siphon off your valuable data, leading to ruined corporate reputations, financial losses or worse. Your people are your biggest vulnerability and biggest asset in the fight against cybersecurity threats, but how do you put them to work on the front lines to defend your organization?

Security Awareness Advisor
IE’s Security Awareness Advisor helps convert the largest attack surface in an organization from a vulnerability to a proactive defense mechanism. Our training engagement helps you protect your people and assets, secure data, and fulfill compliance requirements. This engagement prepares your employees for the common threats they'll likely face, such as Phishing, Man-in-the-Middle, and Water Cooler attacks. More importantly, we'll work to instill a sense of ownership and security integration into your culture.
By remaining vendor agnostic, aligned to your organization’s security controls and policies, and focusing on the areas of highest risk, our training engagement helps you protect your people and assets, secure data, and fulfill compliance requirements.
IE’s Security Awareness Advisor is an instructor-led educational training session aimed at enhancing the awareness, appreciation, and responsibility of your organization's employees in helping protect not only themselves but your organization’s reputation, data, and other assets.
Although security awareness is an important part of an overall security strategy, there are other critical components that need to be addressed. Are you confident your most important assets are protected? Have you found it challenging to build and maintain a successful vulnerability management practice? If you're struggling with these or other security and compliance related questions, ask about our wide variety of security services and products designed to help you detect, contain and control the latest security threats. Regardless of your current security capabilities, IE can enhance your security posture Everywhere, Any Way.
