“Cyber security is one of the biggest challenges for companies these days. Technology is relevant in terms of protection, but people should be aware of the importance of having a strong Human Firewall culture in their organization. With this academy, we want to provide a large number of people with the possibility of expanding their knowledge and gaining effective tools for their day-to-day lives” explains Marcelo Nascimento, Head of Cybersecurity at Highdome, area of agap2IT.
The Human Firewall culture was born with Highdome, the cybersecurity area of agap2IT technology.
Launched by agap2IT in April, Highdome works to implement a cybersecurity culture within each partner organization and society itself. Implements tools that aim to help ensure that everyone involved is aware of the importance of protecting confidential information, able to recognize and respond to potential cyber threats. This is also the main goal that Highdome Cybersecurity Academy wants to bring to the market, free of charge and accessible to everyone.
