Cybersecurity Awareness Training

With viruses, ransomware and other malicious threats becoming increasingly dangerous every day, it is more important than ever for businesses to adopt a strong cybersecurity awareness culture.

As an alternative to long and content-heavy training, Technology Partners is pleased to announce their new Security Awareness Training platform. Every team member in your business – including you – can benefit from these training videos.

The training videos are short (averaging 4-10 minutes) and interactive, with a brief assessment quiz at the end. On a monthly basis, Technology Partners will compile a collection of training videos tailored to you and your team, at each stage of your individual cyber security learning journey(s).

Sign up by 7 November 2022 to qualify for a seven-day free trial. For more details, go to www.technologypartners.co.za/training.
