VDA has partnered with Baroan Technologies and PII-Protect to provide all employees with access to Internet and Network Security training. All employees are expected to complete security training within 10 business days of their initial employment and on an annual basis. If you have any questions regarding our cyber security training program, please contact: Baroan Technologies – help@baroan.com / 201-796-0404 Jason Lerner – jlerner@vdassoc.com / 973-994-9220 Aaron Wetherhold – awetherhold@vdassoc.com /973-994-9220 Shayna Pitman – spitman@vdassoc.com /786-566-6231 Cyber security threats are at an all-time high. The methods used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to a company or personal device change all the time. As a company, VDA invest in and do our best to minimize the risk and reduce the chance that someone will gain access by employing several methods of defense using software and network security tools. While these methods and software tools are effective, the most common way someone can gain access with an employee’s consent. The bad guys try to take advantage of the employees’ good nature and natural tendency to help. It is for this reason that we are providing training on the newest threats and their methods of gaining access, to make sure that you are aware of what to be on the lookout for. With your help, we can ensure that our data and network is secured. Thank you for your vigilance and assistance with protecting our company!
