Global Knowledge, the worldwide leader in IT training, is providing free resources to help organizations educate their IT and non-IT staff on cybersecurity threats and risks during October’s international Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

Some of the free resources include:

• Online courses to build skills in key cybersecurity skills and concepts.
• Webinar on “How to Create a Better Cyber Defense by Building a Winning Cybersecurity Team.”
• “Capture the Flag” style game that tests your cybersecurity knowledge and skills.
• Cybersecurity awareness posters to use as reminders about best practices.

Todd Johnstone, CEO, Global Knowledge, said, “One mistake that organizations can make is in believing that cybersecurity is solely an IT problem, when it is primarily a skills problem. Cybersecurity breaches begin with simple errors made by an individual who fails to recognize a threat and provides criminals the opportunity to do harm.”

“To protect an organization effectively, everyone from the mailroom to the boardroom needs to have the skills and awareness to recognize and protect against cyber threats; by developing these free resources, we hope to turn the tide against cyber criminals and send the message that enterprises can safely conduct business if they have a well-trained cyber team.”

Cybersecurity attacks can cost millions of dollars; collectively, almost $600 billion, according to McAfee. By 2021, there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs and Global Knowledge is helping professionals fill the void with a full range of beginner through expert-level courses and certification training for anyone considering a career in cybersecurity.
