What is an Introduction to Information Security Training

For those who use or store sensitive data, it’s important to understand what information security is. Most importantly, you must possess a clear understanding and respect for the three principles of information security. Along with this, you need to be aware of security risks and threats that you might encounter at work or at home. 

Such risks can be internal or external. Threats too can be internal or external. You need to guard against both. For this, developing a good understanding of cybersecurity technologies should be considered a starting point. But, there’s more. You also need to learn about the basic principles of data protection.

As you go through this course, we’ll introduce you to different kinds of information that you might come across at work. Information security also concerns the security of your personal information.

We’ll look at various threats, and why you need to care about security incidents as well. The course would also familiarize you with the three fundamental principles of information security. We’ll introduce you to policies, standards, and procedures.

By the end of the training, you’d have a fair understanding of 

  • What information security is
