First of all, the basic course will be held by employees from an increased risk group - not related to the development of digital products, but supporting the activities of an IT company and having access to confidential information.

The course is aimed at employees who have access to commercial information, who in one way or another interact with the company's IT infrastructure, work with closed company data. Among them are accountants, lawyers, employees of sales departments and other departments and blocks related to the IT development area. Supervises the training of the Group's information security department.

The goal is to raise awareness of the company's employees about the methods and schemes that fraudsters use in order to acquire data that is significant for the company. One mistake can result in large financial losses for the organization. In addition, this knowledge will help company employees protect personal personal data and funds. In 2023 alone, losses from the actions of cyber fraudsters in Russia, according to various estimates, ranged from 15 to 20 billion rubles, and this is almost 30 percent higher than a year earlier.
