LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE) – Lubbock Christian University and CoNetrix are teaming up Oct. 12 to provide business leaders with hands-on training on cloud computing security and cybersecurity best practices. This free half-day live event will provide best practices to implement in any organization with a digital workforce.

Lubbock Christian University and CoNetrix are joining other Lubbock organizations to help promote the event and raise awareness of cyber security for the Lubbock business community.

According to a recent Stanford University study, the key factor in 88% of cybersecurity breaches is human error. Managing employee cyber risk is critical for your organization to avoid breaches of user-related data and demonstrate regulatory compliance as needed.

Here are some practical tips that every small business can implement today to make your organization more cyber secure:

· Train employees on how to spot malicious emails and phone calls

· Create unique, complex passwords for all accounts

· Track which systems and software store critical business data

· Use multi-factor authentication for high-risk systems

· Engage an independent third party to check your organization’s systems for vulnerabilities

Companies interested in learning more about these tips or gaining more knowledge on cybersecurity topics are invited to the Cyber Security Symposium on October 12.
