Trend Micro offers free security courses to combat threats to companies

Managers and more qualified individuals have long been saying that the real computer security issue is not between viruses, but between the computer and the chair. But is it really like that? The reality is that apart from the "cultural resistance" instances, there is often no training on safety hazards, so there is no development of the correct mindset to avoid issues. And this fact is also noted by Trend Micro, which has signed a training contract with leading firms to enable firms to fill this worker training gap.

Trend Micro launches cybersecurity training partnerships in businesses One of the most overlooked aspects of inner training for businesses, particularly in Italy. As evidenced by reports from several sources, in reality, businesses in Italy do not invest in training their own workers, making our nation one of the most at danger owing to the progressive automation of low-specialization duties. To remain competitive, it is essential to continue to train and remain in line with the times, expanding and varying one's abilities.

Trend Micro intends to counter this trend by offering Phish Insight, a free instructional platform that provides access to a vast content library to train employees and thereby enhance corporate security. Trend Micro has signed contracts with four major educational firms: NINJIO, InfoSec, GoldPhish and NextTech Security.

The primary goal is to teach the workers to protect themselves against phishing, a huge proportional phenomenon responsible for a third of data theft and 94 percent spread of malware. Compromised company email scams are strongly linked to phishing and are liable for $1.3 billion in worldwide damage in 2018, according to Trend Micro.

It should be noted that employee training is an investment for businesses in all ways, as it causes employees to be multi-purpose and save company resources on various fronts, such as safety, as well as helping to boost the company's ability to compete with the market. According to a well-known study commissioned by ARPA to Isaac Asimov, the solution to guarantee higher creativity and inventiveness for employees is to give them more free time, but it is equally true that improving their abilities and extending their horizons are an equally essential component of the recipe.
