Calhoun Community College Offers CyberSAFE™, an End-User Focused Training Program Aimed at Thwarting Cyber-Attacks
February 6, 2018 Decatur, Alabama

Calhoun Community College, a leading provider of instructor-led technical training, announces the addition of CyberSAFE™ to their public training schedule. This end-user cybersecurity training course and corresponding assessment were developed by Logical Operations with the goal of helping organizations combat cybersecurity threats through educating end-users.

 End-users play a critical role in protecting an organization’s data, but often times, they are the weakest link in the security chain. In fact, according to Reuters.com, end-user awareness and training reduces security-related risks for organizations by 45% to 70%. Logical Operations’ new CyberSAFE™ instructor-led training curriculum, available now through Calhoun, enables employees of any organization to identify many of the common risks involved in using conventional end-user technology, as well as ways to use it safely to protect themselves and their organizations from those security risks. The CyberSAFE™ training program, delivered in a half-day or less, is designed for non-technical end-users of computers, mobile devices, networks, and the Internet. This course will also prepare students to earn their Certified CyberSAFE™ credential.

“We’re thrilled to announce the addition of CyberSAFE™ to our growing cybersecurity training portfolio, and welcome a partnership with Calhoun Community College to deliver this needed training,” said Bill Rosenthal, CEO, Logical Operations. “We developed the CyberSAFE™ training program because we recognize that end-users are a crucial part of protecting an organization’s assets, especially since emerging trends such as BYOD are exposing organizations to more and more security threats. With the CyberSAFE™ training program, employees and organizations everywhere will learn how to use technology more securely to minimize security risks to themselves and their organizations.”
