- Cybersecurity Training Thwarts Surging Cybercrime
In 2001, both companies started working together to bring solution-focused technology and communication services together in a complementary relationship. In 2014, Intrada purchased PRworks, bringing all administration under Intrada but keeping services and team members separated under each company’s brand.
The PRworks (PRW) team focuses on communications-centric research, communications strategy, targeted communications and consistent branding. By employing our years of experience consulting with a broad array of industries, PRworks’ team crafts valuable communications plans, hones target markets, and crafts consistent written and visual communications to provide the foundation to a productive and effective campaign as well as protect and enhance an organization’s reputation.
Intrada is technology focused. Our foundational values concentrate on customer service and we desire to exceed our clients’ expectations. To provide goal driven technology services requires an experienced team with detailed processes that allow Intrada to maximize the management of a successful development project. Our team approach, experience and proven systems will provide the framework to guide our clients through this process and create a successful, powerful and professional website and online presentation.

Cybersecurity Training Thwarts Surging Cybercrime
The rapid proliferation of cybercrime has organizations battling hordes of unseen enemies. Are you protected?
Cybercrime shot up by 300% in just the first quarter of 2020 and has continued to explode.1, 2 Since the start of the pandemic, 71% of security professionals have reported a surge in security threats or attacks3 and nearly 1 in 4 business leaders acknowledged their company had been a victim of a cyber event.4 Experts project the annual cost of global cybercrime will exceed $6 trillion by 2021.5
The significant uptick in remote workers has fueled the growth. More than half of employees working from home have been provided a company-issued device6. Yet, many expose their organizations to danger by failing to spot threats and neglecting cybersecurity best practices.
Broad economic uncertainty, combined with a growing volume of threats and the risks of unmanaged devices, has organizational leadership and cybersecurity teams tired and looking for help.
Defend with Cybersecurity Training
Cybersecurity training teaches workers to expect and prepare for cyber threats while also providing the tools to spot common attacks and manage them safely. Raising awareness of the inevitable nature of a cyberattack is critical.
The weakest links in an organization’s cybersecurity network are untrained or non-compliant users. These same users are also the organization’s last line of defense – making good training and employee awareness increasingly important.
When employees expect to face cyber threats and know how to recognize them, taking the appropriate action – like deleting an email or not clicking on a link – is easy. Employee awareness prevents the actualization of threats, protecting the company and their clients.
Protecting Your Organization’s Data with Remote Workers
After working from home, many employees do not want to return to the office full-time.6 However, remote workers often gamble with organizational data and IT security with risky behaviors like accessing corporate data on personal devices, using company devices to shop online or opening suspicious emails.
Cybersecurity training helps to mitigate these behaviors, protecting organizations from some attacks and relieving some of the burden on the IT department.
