Cybersecurity Training at Network Technology Academy

There are nearly 4.8 billion Internet users around the world – that’s about 62% of the world’s population. Are you doing your part to be cyber smart? As the digital world continues to evolve, cybercrime, malware, ransomware and social engineering will continue to rise. Your privacy isn’t just a luxury – it’s a security measure that you need to take in order to protect your data and yourself. Join us and industry experts throughout the month of October for an in-depth series of webinars focusing on securing data, the remote workforce and more. By understanding how attacks are happening, you can better prepare and see how you can prevent them from happening to you. Throughout many of the cybersecurity webinars this month, one theme will be consistent: it is, without a doubt, an evolving cyber landscape. With much of the corporate workforce now fully remote, IT professionals everywhere are under pressure to protect their organizations against Cybersecurity threats. Hackers attack networks an average of once every 39 seconds, which means staying up-to-date on security training is essential for keeping employees—and their data—safe. Register and join us for our month-long Cybersecurity webinar series.
