Security Training Seminars

Dive into information security with our security training seminars.

  • Traditional, proven method of delivering training in the area of security, from basic awareness to specific skill development.
  • Public seminars or private bespoke training is available.
  • Security consultants, technology professionals, and education support personnel combine expertise to deliver quality training that is tailored to an organisation's needs.

Issues

An organisation will have a variety of training needs in the area of security, depending on the balance of business priorities versus exposure to risk. At the most basic level, this will certainly involve a minimum level of awareness amongst employees of the issues, and basic measures to ensure the overall security of people, property, and data. This most basic level is a minimum requirement of any organisation in order to meet its obligations to employees, shareholders and customers, and the demands of corporate governance.

Beyond the basic level of training, there is often the need for more specific training of individuals. This can range from senior management responsibilities, to deeper technical-based training of security professionals who wish to acquire new knowledge or skills, refresh existing skills, or just keep up-to-date with current advances.

Approach

Seminar training is the most popular method of fulfilling the wide range of training requirements that exist within an organisation, and remains the most common method of delivering knowledge.

The courses commissum can offer to organisations include:

  • General security awareness briefings for staff.
  • Director level security awareness.
  • General IT professional security awareness.
  • Information Security: Legal issues of IT and compliance.
  • Information technology security analyst fundamentals.
  • System administrator security fundamentals.
  • Bespoke seminars on specific technical areas (e.g. NT, Unix, firewalls, etc).

Public seminars are available, as advertised on the commissum website. Private, bespoke seminars can be provided within customer premises, or off-site, as required.
