Nearly every important institution, large company, and government unit today stores its information officially on computers — full records of financial transactions, export and import data, and confidential material that, once exposed, can threaten the company's very existence. This Training Course in Technical Safeguards for Computer-Based Information Security, delivered by the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, is designed for anyone who needs to protect that important information wherever it lives on a computer system.

Because so much depends on that data staying intact, the course focuses on the technical side of the problem: understanding the general concept of information stored inside a computer, recognising the risks facing companies that fail to protect it, and spotting the external threats posed by competitors who are always looking to gather information stored on a corporate machine.
