Many companies and organizations have been frustrated to find that having spent considerable sums on firewalls and other security measures their own staff are creating potential security holes on a regular basis.

Drawing upon his own research into Cybercrime Richard Adams presents interactive lectures lasting between 2 and 3 hours covering the fundamentals of the threat to company security, not just from the internet, and the types of situations a typical computer user needs to be aware of. During these lectures, which are based on presentations he gives to postgraduate IT students, Richard shows real-time screen outputs of some common hacking applications and other products to emphasise the power of the tools that can be ranged against a company's resources.

Also discussed are other non-technical methods of obtaining access to an organization's data and facilities such as 'social engineering', 'dumpster diving' and other interestingly-named activities.

The fee per session is $500 for groups of up to 10 people. Multiple sessions attracting a discount if booked at the same time.
