In October, National Security Month is marked for the 11th time in Norway. The theme for this year's campaign is "A Safe Digital Everyday Life", and the goal is to contribute to a safer digital everyday life for businesses and the population. 

Digital security is about both preventing something from going wrong and handling the damage when it does occur. Various forms of fraud, ransomware, account takeover, and identity theft are some of the most common incidents that individuals and businesses are exposed to. With increased digitalization and the use of home offices, it is therefore more important than ever to have knowledge about how to avoid digital attacks. 

Important to be prepared

NorSIS coordinates National Security Month each year on behalf of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security. This is part of the EU's information security organization ENISA's annual European Security Month. With National Security Month, NorSIS aims to highlight what can be done to protect oneself and the workplace from unwanted incidents and attacks. Knowing what to do when one is affected is important to limit the damage effects. 

Courses in Digital First Aid

During the campaign period, it is possible to participate in events, courses, and other activities related to the themes "Digital First Aid" and "Be Safe". The training provides valuable knowledge in digital security so that one knows how to protect the business and what measures must be taken when damage has occurred. It turns out that most IT security breaches are related to the users. Therefore, it is especially important to have good training on what constitutes a good security culture and how a typical attack may look like. 

We provide your company with valuable training in IT security

Procano offers a training platform in IT security that provides monthly training modules and simulations. The simulations we set up in our training platform will resemble spear phishing emails. This means an attack where the criminal intends to extract sensitive information from your company. This is the most common type of attack against businesses, and therefore it is important that employees can identify these. In the security training platform, you can register names of suppliers, CEO, CFO, IT department, and other key players, so that we can simulate the most likely email.
