Why IT Security Training is a must for anyone who owns or works on a computer.

An article I read this morning in an IT journal reinforced the need for companies of all sizes and individuals to take an active role in managing IT security and also the need for IT Security Training. The articles’ introduction began from the position, that a network breach is all but inevitable? Wade Baker, director of risk intelligence at Verizon, asserts that taking such a view is “unhelpful at best” and points out that “97 per cent of the attacks analysed in the 2012 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report were avoidable, without the need for organisations to resort to difficult or expensive countermeasures.” which we think is good news for Tamite IT support Surrey customers
