IronTech SecurityOffers 30 Day Trial Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Water Utilities
Coronavirus Creates New Opportunities for Cybercriminals
Fort Smith, Ark. – IronTech Security today announced a 30 day no charge trial Cybersecurity Awareness Training Program for U.S. Water Utilities. An engaging online video-based tool, this robust training program is designed to educate employees on current and common cybersecurity threats to their utility. It offers a new way for water utility leaders to educate their employees on cybersecurity risks and best practices amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Employees are the leading cause of data breaches, a focus on improving employee security strength will help utilities minimize the chance of data breaches. Continuous security awareness training, testing, and evaluation is required to turn employees from utilities weakest security links, to their strongest frontline of protection.
“As a company that specializes in cybersecurity for water utilities, IronTech Security wants to ensure employees have basic cybersecurity knowledge of current threats and risks,” explains IronTech Security CEO Tom Kirkham. “Continuous cybersecurity awareness training is critical to the success of any utility. Cybercriminals are becoming more advanced every single day, leaving yearly trainings inadequate, creating vulnerabilities within systems. All employees need to have continuous cybersecurity training to stay aware of current threats and risks. We have the expertise and ability to support water utility security initiatives as threats and risks change every day.”
The 30-day Cybersecurity Awareness Training Program includes:
- Engaging, weekly video-based training program accessible from anywhere
- Best practices for avoiding scams and protecting sensitive data
- A training quiz to test employee knowledge culminating with a certificate of completion
- An easy-to-manage portal with employee scores and metrics.
The 30 Day Cybersecurity Awareness Training Program will be available starting today at no charge.
Each participating utility will be assigned a Customer Champion. Customer Champions make the onboarding process quick, easy, and stress-free for utilities.
