Infosec Launches New Office Comedy Themed Security Awareness Training Series

Work Bytes offers short, entertaining and useful trainings on today’s most common cybersecurity threats

MADISON, Wis., Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Infosec Institute, a leading cybersecurity education provider and part of Cengage Group, today announced the launch of a new security awareness training series titled, “Work Bytes” for Infosec IQ, a security awareness and training platform that empowers employees with the knowledge and skills to reduce their cyber risk. Work Bytes fills the void often seen with other cybersecurity training – the content is concise and entertaining, but most importantly it helps employees retain the information they’ve learned, ensuring a more knowledgeable and security-aware workforce.

Set in the backdrop of a hilarious office comedy, Work Bytes features a colorful cast of creative characters, including vampires, pirates, aliens, and zombies. These fantastical and unlikely co-workers encounter and navigate today’s most common and complex cybersecurity threats from phishing emails to social engineering scams.

Cybersecurity threats are more prevalent than ever, and the reality is that employees are the biggest risk factor within an organization, but they can also be an organization’s biggest asset with the right training. In fact, 82% of data breaches involve a human element. Aside from the major reputational damage that accompanies a data breach, business continuity post-breach is also greatly affected with experts predicting that by 2025, 60% of organizations will use cybersecurity risk as a primary determinant in conducting third-party transactions and business engagements.

“Cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving so the way companies train employees to recognize, navigate and deter these threats must change, too,” said Jim Chilton, GM for Infosec and CTO of Cengage Group. “Lengthy, time-consuming, and stale trainings result in low engagement and a low retention of information which poses a massive risk for businesses. Our award-winning team has researched, developed, and brought to market a fresh content training series that educates, entertains, and engages today’s learners so that they don’t just ‘check the box,’ but begin building a strong, always-vigilant cybersecurity culture.”

The Work Bytes training series is just the latest addition to Infosec IQ’s content library where it joins five other award-winning training series including the highly acclaimed “Choose Your Own Adventure® Security Awareness Games.” One of the key benefits of Infosec IQ and its training platform is the opportunity to choose the type of content that resonates most with a company’s culture and employee base. Offering personalized and tailored cybersecurity training ensures security knowledge and awareness – because cybersecurity needs everyone.

Specified Technologies Inc. Unveils Firestop Clash Management and Locator Updates

Published

7 hours ago

November 23, 2024

SOMERVILLE, N.J., Nov. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Specified Technologies Inc. has announced their latest Firestop Clash Management (FCM) and Firestop Locator (FSL) releases. FCM automates the process of locating and assigning firestop solutions to conditions within Autodesk® Revit®, enabling firestop novices to find firestop solutions like a firestop expert. In this latest release, STI has further expanded the capabilities of FCM by integrating it with their firestop documentation and compliance tool, Firestop Locator (FSL). FSL enables contractors and facilities’ teams to document the status, location, and products used for any and all fire life safety services across a building.

In the latest update for FSL, teams can now create custom items to track any service on their project beyond the base six (Penetration, Joint, Extinguisher, Door, Damper, and Barrier). Teams can also modify the base six items to include project specific inspection and maintenance requirements and any other details that they would like to be tracked.

With this new integration, decisions made during the design phase of a building using FCM are seamlessly passed into FSL during the construction phase, giving implementation teams a jump start on work to be done. This integration also improves data integrity and eliminates the guesswork in the field of determining what firestop systems and products are to be used where.

“We’re proud of the latest releases of FCM and FSL and look forward to continuing to support the fire life safety community,” says Justin Pine, Sr. Manager of Software & Services.

Specified Technologies Inc. promotes life and building safety by developing innovative fire protection systems and accompanying digital tools that help stop the spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases. Our SpecSeal® and EZ Path® product lines are engineered for easy installation and deliver powerful performance, often resulting in lower installed costs. Since firestopping is our only business, we concentrate all our resources on providing the highest quality, fully tested, innovative firestopping solutions.
