National Cyber Security Alliance

Posted on August 1, 2016February 6, 2017 by Marketing & Events

NCSA has designed an interactive workshop that allows small and medium sized business owners and operators to teach businesses best practices for securing company data and no-cost resources available to help. During each workshop, an NCSA-trained facilitator takes the attendees through the following steps:

Understanding the assets they have that others might want to steal
Learning how to protect those assets without having to spend a lot of money or time
Detecting when something has gone wrong and how to react quickly and appropriately to make the impact as small as possible
Understanding the need to create a plan of action that can be implemented when a breach occurs
Learning what resources are needed to recover after a breach

The content is designed to be understandable by people who do not have technical backgrounds. Attendees are provided with a business inventory list, a draft policy document, an employee training plan and a draft recovery plan. Some of these materials are used during the workshop, and others are reference materials for future use. Attendees leave the workshop with a better understanding of the threats and tools to better secure their company data.
