Kaspersky expands subjects covered by its Security Awareness solutions with free module on remote working and new topics about GDPR and sensitive information 17 April 2020
As revealed by Kaspersky’s IT Security Risks Survey 1 , customers’ personal information is involved in data breaches more often than any other type of corporate data. This sort of data leakage may result in reputational and financial losses, as well as regulation penalties if not responded to properly.
However, if data processing is addressed effectively, damage from a potential data breach can be reduced significantly. To enable its customers to become better at data processing, Kaspersky has added GDPR and confidential data courses to its cybersecurity awareness learning platform for businesses.
In addition, to help companies ensure that remote working doesn’t pose a security danger to their business, Kaspersky has introduced a free module on working from home security basics.
The way a business stores and uses customer data plays an important part in shaping and maintaining its reputation.
However, Kaspersky research has shown that personal identifiable information is the most frequently targeted type of data amongst cybercriminals (40%). As a result, 29% of companies surveyed experienced issues with attracting new customers after a data breach.
In response, courses about GDPR and confidential data have recently been added to the Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform as new training topics, to help companies upskill their personnel.
The Kaspersky Global Corporate IT Security Risks Survey (ITSRS) is a global survey of IT business decision makers conducted in 2019. A total of 4,958 interviews were conducted across 23 countries.
