KANSAS CITY, MO, Nov 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
FishNet Security today announced the availability of Payment Card
Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) computer-based training (CBT)
courses through the company's SecureSkills group. Both on-demand courses
are designed to provide diverse workforces with an understanding of the
important compliance and operational issues unique to their regulated
organization. Organizations required to undergo PCI audits or handle
sensitive patient information will benefit from these innovative and
media-rich CBT offerings.
Both the HIPAA and PCI DSS courses are compatible with any learning
management system (LMS); organizations can host the courses within their
own LMS or access them through SecureSkills.com. Each course allows
organizations to track metrics such as participation, completion and
knowledge-retention trends.
"Highly regulated organizations are required to provide security awareness
and compliance training to their entire workforce, and challenging
economic conditions require effective, on-demand training initiatives
that clearly demonstrate real ROI," said Barry Cooper, FishNet Security's
Vice President of Training Services. "SecureSkills' PCI DSS and HIPPA
computer-based training courses address these pain points by delivering
measurable, cost-effective training available 24 hours a day, seven days
a week."
The PCI DSS and HIPAA CBT courses were developed by FishNet Security's
subject matter experts who have completed hundreds of compliance
assessments in financial, healthcare, government, high tech, retail,
energy/gas, and telecommunications organizations. SecureSkills' CBT
courses combine expert knowledge with effective learning methodologies in
an interactive and engaging environment. These elements enable students
taking these courses to comprehend and retain knowledge of complex
topics, and apply what they've learned to their everyday work activities.
The PCI DSS course, designed to benefit any organization that processes
payment card transactions, provides:
-- Training on each of the six PCI DSS principles and 12 requirements
-- Instruction on how to maintain the digital and physical security of
sensitive information
-- Detailed technical overviews and instructions for the total PCI DSS
-- Information about hardening standards that protect cardholder data
The HIPAA course, designed to benefit any organization that deals with
medical and personal information, provides:
-- A high-level overview suitable for any employee
-- Knowledge of key terminology and standards
