Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Untrained employees are often the weakest link in any organization’s cybersecurity defenses. LeadingIT’s Cybersecurity Awareness Training helps Chicago-area businesses arm their staff with the knowledge to recognize threats, avoid risks, and become active participants in your security posture.
The Risks of Not Training Your Team
Phishing & Social Engineering Failures
Employees receive hundreds of emails daily and without proper training, they might unknowingly click malicious links or hand over credentials. A single mistake can compromise your entire network.
Lost Productivity & Downtime
A breach often leads to system lockdowns, forensic investigations, and compliance reporting. These operations can grind daily productivity to a halt and sideline your core business.
Reputational Damage & Lost Trust
Cyber incidents get noticed and customers, partners, and regulators hold companies responsible. Reputational fallout from a public breach can be very difficult (and costly) to repair.Financial Penalties & Compliance Violations
Regulations like HIPAA, PCI DSS, FTC guidelines, and Chicago-area data privacy rules require documented employee security training. Failing to comply may result in audits, penalties, and legal liabilities.

Hissan from LeadingIT helped me fix a problem that had been going on for at least two months and could not be solved by any of the partners I work with, which includes a company worth $15 billion dollars. He was quick to respond to my ticket, walked me through everything to identify the problem, and jumped into a meeting with the partners to help with problem solving.
