Strengthen Your Network Security
...with Learning Tree vendor-independent training
 
Security breaches are an increasing threat to business and technology systems. Recent indicators report the following alarming statistics:

  • PC viruses cost businesses as much as $55 billion in damages in 20031
  • The Computer Security Institute (CSI) reports that 78% of its respondents to a 2003 survey experienced "frequent" attacks via their Internet connections2
  • The CSI study also reported 75% of companies surveyed acknowledged a financial loss due to a security breach3
  • According to a recent CompTIA survey, organizations reported 19.7% fewer security incidents when at least 25% of their staff received IT security training4
  • Security investments resulted in an average annual savings of $426,000 per organization, reports the Griggs Anderson/Gartner Group5

A failure in network security can be devastating to an organization, resulting in decreased productivity, corruption of sensitive data, and a loss of confidence among customers, partners and vendors. With the number of high-profile network and malware attacks growing each year, security remains at the forefront of every technological initiative.

Studies show that focused, job-related training substantially reduces the number of security breaches an organization will encounter. The Learning Tree Security Curriculum offers in-depth coverage of the most important areas in computer and network security. Our extensive selection of courses covers a range of security-related issues, from an introduction to the basics to developing and implementing policies and practices that combat real-world security challenges. See for yourself how the Learning Tree Security Curriculum can play a vital role in your organization's security training.
