Security Training
The education security awareness training is an online program that will develop the security skills of your employees. With this practical training they'll be able to manage and respond to the threat of cybercrime.
WatSec™ understands that without effective employee training, even the most comprehensive security policies will not protect an organization from security threats.
The WatSmart Education security awareness training program was prepared so that an organization could develop the skill set to effectively manage and respond to the increasing threat of cybercrime to their business.
The WatSec™ Difference: An Experienced Security Team
With the growth of cybercrime in the 21st century, IT security practices are undergoing a massive paradigm shift across multiple business sectors.
WatSec™ recognized this shift and responded by developing WatSmart Education: a security awareness training program with an evidence-based curriculum that is delivered online at the student's own pace.
Students Will Learn
- Best Practices. Industry evidence suggests that some of the worst security breaches are connected to improper employee security practices. From safe surfing to safe email to safe data storage, WatSmart Education takes a pro-active and evidence-based approach to educate and train employees about the impact of security best practices on the bottom line.
- Methodology. Preserving operational efficiency is a priority for every organization and introducing new or improved practices can be disruptive to business process. WatSmart Education provides employees with proven methodologies and techniques to integrate security best practices into their daily workflow while maintaining adherence to respective industry security standards and guidelines.
- Awareness. Even the most security-hardened systems may be vulnerable to attack if an organization does not promote a security-conscious corporate culture. Understanding that dilemma, the WatSmart Education approach tailors the transfer of knowledge to its target audience; thereby ensuring that the proper balance of security awareness is achieved in your organization.
Cyber Liability Insurance
The insurance policy includes Errors and Omissions (E&O), Commercial General Liability (CGL, optional) and Cyber Liability.
Tailored Cover
Many insurance policies for technology companies contain specialist errors and omissions cover, but TECH is the only policy where all sections of cover have been designed purely for the technology industry. We believe this is the only way to provide seamless cover
- Software can be considered as a service or a product. This is why our product liability and errors and omissions insurance has been tailored to avoid any gaps in cover.
- Our business interruption cover takes into account issues relating to project delivery failure, delayed milestone payments and disruption to research and development activities.
- We do not use standard insurance definitions of "technology services" as this can dramatically reduce cover. Instead we let the technology company define their business and the activities to be covered.
Breach of Contract
The majority of errors and omissions claims against technology companies are for breach of contract, so it is very important that this area of coverage is clear and unambiguous.
- Many policies claim to cover breach of contract, but have a contractual liability exclusion or condition.
- We provide clear cover for breach of a client contract.
- We do not have a contractual liability exclusion or condition.
Other Features
Apart from these two crucial coverage areas, TECH also includes the following features:
- Full civil liability coverage, not just negligence
- Specific cover for breach of intellectual property rights
- A comprehensive general liability package, including products and completed operations liability, tenants' legal liability, employee benefits liability, non-owned and hired auto and medical expenses.
- Property cover which includes sewer back-up as standard and provides options for earthquake and flood.
- Virus and hacking liability cover
