South Jordan, United States - April 9, 2020 /PressCable/ —

The newly launched training and awareness program is designed to help small businesses prevent cybersecurity vulnerabilities both internally and externally through training. The company has compiled research that suggests employees tend to be the weakest cybersecurity link, causing a third of all data breaches.
Understanding why this happens and providing education can help businesses to prevent themselves from becoming victims of cyber attacks and fraud. 2020 is set to be the year of cybersecurity training and awareness as it has been revealed that last year, US companies saw a 25% increase in phishing scams that evaded antivirus software and anti-malware defenses.
For many small companies, these statistics are worrying, particularly as many businesses operate online, whether for sales, marketing or communication. qnectU has developed this new training program featuring actionable tips to help keep businesses safe.
In a recent survey, 76% of businesses reported being victimized by phishing scams in 2019. The main cause of this was employee vulnerability, which could involve an employee naively opening or clicking a scam email that has the potential to infect the whole company network.
This is a clear sign that business owners need to implement reliable, trustworthy and safe security solutions, whether through a managed IT provided or internally. qnectU is providing a range of cybersecurity training and awareness options to businesses in the Salt Lake City UT area.
Gregory E. Mauer, th company Founder and Spokesperson said, “Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important to companies all over the world. Sadly, hackers have the power to bring entire networks to a standstill, while accessing potentially sensitive internal documents.”
He continued, “At qnectU, we understand the importance of reliable IT defenses, which is why we have launched a new guide with practical and actionable tips. The guide is designed to help businesses train employees to eliminate any potential vulnerabilities within the organization.”
In addition to the new program, qnectU offers a range of services to businesses including an IT cybersecurity assessment to test the current security defenses and highlight any employee vulnerabilities. Interested parties are invited to read more about the “Cybersecurity Myths” that small business owners must know about in order to stay in business during the COVID-19 shutdown.
