Identity Theft is the Crime of our Time

Identity theft is the crime of our time due to the number of data breaches and fraudulent activities being perpetrated by the criminal element. ID theft may include mortgage & title fraud, terrorism, money laundering and other fraudulent activities against individuals and organizations.

Teaching employees about identity theft can build a culture of privacy which in turn can benefit the individual as well as the organization. The goal of the training is to reduce the incidents of data breaches and identity theft. Losing a laptop, sending a fax to the wrong number or not shredding sensitive paper is not acceptable anymore. Education through effective and focused training is a great vehicle for reducing human error.

Awareness of Sensitive Information

It is important to be aware of how easily sensitive information is lost involving paper and electronic file management, home networks and portable devices, storing electronic data and password management. The probability of the Canadian Privacy Commissioner making it mandatory for organizations to report all data breaches is looming in this year's legislation.

Graham McWaters' training programs on identity theft and fraud protection have been designed for individuals, organizations, home office employees, the financial services industry and the health care industry.

You will learn to how to prevent theft, how fraud takes place, being aware of current scams, knowing what to do when identity or personal information is stolen, understanding how it affects you and your clients, and being in a better position to prevent it.
