The CIA Infosec Triad 

Participants will learn what it means to keep information held by the company they work for confidential and how to best prevent breaches of confidentiality and what to do during situations when such a breach has occurred, for example, sensitive emails being sent to the wrong recipients, alongside the importance of keeping data held by companies accurate and available to those authorised to access it at all times.

• Phishing Policies

• Clear Desk Policies

• Anti Bribery Policies

  • The different classifications of information are detailed, including: public, internal, confidential and restricted information.
