TRAINING

PD is a firm beleiver in the concept of training the workforce in computer skills and best security practices. Users who understand how their computers work tend to break them a lot less, are more productive, and reduce the strain on IT so they can focus on performance. Users who are trained in security risks associated with their activities tend to have less security incidences which saves orginizations time and money from sanitizing a corrupted environment and/or from potential proprietary data loss.
