Kaspersky is pleased to announce the launch of three new courses within its leading Kaspersky Automated Security Awareness Platform to help organizations counter specific and increasingly prevalent cyberthreats.
Cyberattacks targeting
healthcare organizations, supply chains and high-levels executives are on the
rise. The Kaspersky IT Security Economics report reveals that supply chain resilience has
emerged as a significant focus for IT security teams, with more and more
businesses recognizing the need for greater oversight and control over their
suppliers. Meanwhile, healthcare organizations suffer an average of 18
incidents per year, putting critical data and patients at risk. The three new
Kaspersky ASAP courses directly address these threats.
Designed for healthcare professionals, “Information security in healthcare” addresses the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by the medical industry. It covers information security principles, the rights and responsibilities of those handling medical information, and advanced guidance on secure data storage, transmission, and disposal. Participants will also gain insight into key legal regulations governing healthcare cybersecurity, ensuring they can protect sensitive systems and even save lives through secure practices.
The “Supply chain attacks” course explores a
growing threat where cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in external vendors
and partners. Participants will learn how attackers embed malicious code into
trusted software or compromise contractor systems, bypassing internal
protections. The course provides strategies for identifying supplier risks,
monitoring practices, and implementing safeguards to secure interconnected
systems.
“Attacks on top managers and on behalf of top managers: whaling and its impact” explores whaling attacks, a sophisticated form of phishing targeting top-level executives. Participants will learn how attackers exploit executive authority and impersonate leaders to deceive employees, gaining access to sensitive information or financial assets. The course equips executives to protect themselves and trains employees to identify “fake manager” scams, reducing the risk of fraud and data breaches.
“Cyberthreats are evolving, and
organizations must stay ahead by empowering employees with the right knowledge
and tools,” says Tatyana
Shumaylova, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Kaspersky. “These courses tackle critical issues –
from protecting executives against whaling to securing healthcare
operations and defending against supply chain attacks –
helping organizations build resilience in a complex digital landscape.”
