The legal IT firm SproutIT will offer the RESILIA cyber resilience awareness for the legal sector. The deal will mean that companies across the legal sector will have access to cyber resilience awareness learning from AXELOS, the joint venture company co-owned by the UK Government’s Cabinet Office and Capita plc.
The IT firm says that threats to the UK legal sector are a near certainty, especially considering the valuable information held by law firms.
Matt Torrens, Managing Director of SproutIT said: “There is probably no more effective countermeasure, pound for pound, than a good security awareness programme. We have found that there can be a weak link in the training of staff around the subject of information security awareness, with some firms not providing any training and most firms providing only a short e-learning course once a year. Training has to be regular from the board room through to the front line to ensure that everyone is given the simple, practical guidance they need to make the right decisions when managing daily risks. After much evaluation, we will be now be adding AXELOS RESILIA Cyber Awareness learning to our product portfolio.”
And Nick Wilding, general manager of cyber resilience for AXELOS, said: “All businesses need to ensure that all their employees, regardless of their role or responsibility, are aware of the cyber risks that they face. This is particularly true in the legal world, where companies hold hugely valuable information about their clients on their systems. One data breach could destroy a firm’s reputation – and so we’re very happy to be working with SproutIT to make RESILIA available to this market.”
AXELOSRESILIA Cyber Resilience Training includes; certified training, awareness learning for staff, leadership insight and a maturity assessment tool.
SproutIT say this awareness learning will suit staff and lawyers and help fill a knowledge and skills gap enabling good and timely decision making, regarding information security.
