Training: the key to effective information security and privacy protection

Training: the key to effective information security and privacy protection

In a world where digitisation is accelerating and cyber threats are constantly changing, knowledge is the most powerful weapon we have. Successful information security and privacy protection cannot be achieved without well-trained, skilled employees. Technology alone can never cover all risks. Ultimately, it is the people within an organisation who make the difference.

Information security and privacy protection are all about trust. To earn and maintain that trust, organisations need to continuously invest in their greatest asset: people. Effective training ensures that employees not only know what to do, but also understand why they are doing it. This leads to better decisions, proactive risk protection and a strong corporate culture around security and privacy.

We live in a knowledge economy. Companies and organisations are increasingly dependent on accurate information, reliable processes and specialised skills. Developing and retaining knowledge is therefore essential. Organisations that train their employees and actively raise awareness not only reduce the risk of incidents, but are also better prepared if something does go wrong unexpectedly.

Human factor in information security

Cybersecurity is ultimately people work. Brenno de Winter has been providing training since 1989 and founded De Winter Information Solutions in 1993, with training and consultancy as immediate core activities. Brenno understands better than anyone that technology and processes are only effective if people can deal with them. He therefore focuses on training that ties in with daily practice, teaching people how to recognise, assess and effectively deal with risks.

But the human factor further means that many trainings are only truly effective when customised. Personalised training in particular is only really effective when the need for knowledge is really met. In addition to training skills, this also requires trainers who are truly above the material.

Through his unique combination of experience, expertise and human approach, Brenno knows how to make complex matters accessible and understandable. This ensures that employees not only gain knowledge, but also the motivation and confidence to actively contribute to security and privacy within their organisation.

Strong together with knowledge partners

Because nobody has all the knowledge, Brenno works intensively with specialised knowledge partners. Together with these partners, he offers a broad and complete range of training courses, giving every organisation exactly the expertise it needs.
