About Cybersecurity For Dummies
At AwareGO it is our goal to make the world a more cybersecure place. To achieve that we believe that people must be made aware of the risks. By creating engaging security awareness training content we help businesses around the world create a security culture within their business. We help them turn regular employees into a cybersecurity task-force that is ready and able to navigate the internet without falling into its traps.
Renowned security experts Ragnar Sigurdsson and dr. Maria Bada came together to create a handy cybersecurity guide for all companies, and even individuals. This book is for all who want to make their business or home a more cybersecure place. This guide is: The AwareGO special edition of Cybersecurity For Dummies.
“Currently, we are living in a time of crisis, relying on the Internet more than ever before. Therefore, now is the time to take measures to safeguard and protect businesses against online threats. Promoting cybersecurity awareness to all users of the Internet is vital. An organisation’s strongest assets are the employees. The human factor, the people, can therefore determine how resilient an organization is.”
Maria Bada
“Cyber attacks can crush small and medium size companies and severely damage large enterprises. Minimizing these risks as much as possible must therefore be mission critical to all organisations. It is my mission to help businesses become more cyber secure. To help them turn their employees into a cybersecurity task force. This book is one step towards this mission. It has the information that all organisations need to get started, and is written in a simple language that everyone can understand.”
Ragnar Sigurdsson
Why Should You Read This Book?
Cybersecurity should be an essential part of any organization’s culture. Cybersecurity For Dummies, AwareGO Special Edition, has everything you need to know about cybersecurity in one place. It will take you through the key elements of cybersecurity and how to maintain it.
From the dawn of the Internet, thieves, aka hackers, have been taking advantage of the multiple possibilities it offers to do crime. Despite technical advances when it comes to virus protection, firewalls and other guarding methods businesses use for their systems, hackers are still getting through. How? We simply let them in the front door. Therefore a big part of all cybersecurity measures must be the education and security awareness training of employees.
