We are official champions of the National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM). October is Cyber Security Awareness Month and Information Managers is celebrating by hosting our annual 15 Day Privacy Challenge.
The 15 Day Privacy Challenge starts October 15th, for fifteen days.
The challenge includes tasks centered on a privacy or security best practice. Each challenge includes a short description about why this practice is important, how to get started, and links to additional resources. Each challenge will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. All activities are online and accessible from any internet enabled device.
Businesses and healthcare providers are legally responsible to ensure that every employee, contractor, and vendor receives privacy and security training, including cyber awareness. Prevent malicious errors, omissions or attacks that could result in fines and even jail time for the business, healthcare provider, employee, or vendor by being up to date on privacy and security best practices.
Training is the cornerstone of every privacy and security program.
People love games, challenges, and cyber competitions to create variety and interest in privacy and security best practices. The 15 Day Privacy Challenge uses a variety of multi-media content that everyone in your practice can understand. Privacy awareness training alone won’t guarantee that mistakes or errors in judgement won’t happen, but Privacy Awareness Training is your logical first step.
The 15 Day Privacy Challenge starts October 15th, for fifteen days.
