About you …and me

About You: who is my target

You are a company, authority, organisation in need of:

Training as a security measure
I train your staff on cybersecurity, in particular on what risky behaviours they are to avoid, and what signs to look out for, to detect what is going wrong

Training of experts
Are you certified to ISO 27001, or planning to certify? You need to train one or more internal auditors

Training as legal or regulatory compliance
Your organisation may be required to train your staff, by virtue of legal provisions or requirements of regulatory bodies (e.g. 679/2016 GDPR, nDSG, SWIFT etc)

About me: Principal Security Trainer

A veteran trainer
~50y in IT and specifically ~30y in cyber security, writing articles, consulting, and coaching my clients.

A skilled communicator
My communication skills and detached attitude make me the ideal liaison with C-level management and boards of directors.

A born problem-solver
I shall find a way around most hurdles in my clients’ projects.

The Core

Training your staff is always a mandatory requirement.

How to do it, is YOUR choice

(And no, e-learning is not a choice: it’s a surrender)

 



Testimonials

A rare ability as a trainer
”I have had the pleasure of being trained and examined by Stefano as an ISO27001 lead auditor. Stefano has a rare ability as a trainer: Instead of giving students the information they need in its finished form, he guides them into a direction which allows them to arrive at the right conclusions themselves – thereby ensuring the retention of the information is much more efficient. His open, friendly style makes training with him almost effortless. I am looking forward to work with Stefano again for any sort of training he can offer.”
Adrian Baumann, Security Officer EFD-BIT, Switzerland

A wide ranging knowledge of information security
“I have worked with Stefano a number of times over four years and found him very pleasant, articulate and knowledgeable. He has a wide ranging knowledge of information security which he is able to convey to others through discussions, guidance and presentations. I would strongly recommend Stefano to anyone in need of professional information security tuition.”
Geoff Dunn, Projects Director, TMS Insight, UK

Met by great interest by the many participants
The Rome chapter of ISACA invited Stefano Toria to conduct a seminar to illustrate his methodology for using the NIST Cyber Security Framework for the information security of SMEs.
The topic, thanks also to Stefano’s brilliant exposition, was met with great interest by the many participants who asked questions and expressed very positive opinions.
Glauco Bertocchi, Vice President & Education Chairperson, ISACA Rome Chapter, Italy

A unique and natural disposition for teaching
Prof. Stefano Toria was my IT Science Professor during my graduation at L.U.I.S.S.. It has been by all means a great and valuable experience, which gave me the opportunity to gain most of the basic and advanced concepts linked to mainframe and personal computers management, as well as computer programming. As co-reporter, Prof. Stefano Toria helped me out developing an innovative and experimental thesis about “DSS” (Decision Support Systems) which was presented with quite good feedback in 1985.
Prof. Toria has always showed a unique and natural disposition for teaching, which represents a real “added value” to his deep professional and cultural knowledge. He certainly deserves my deepest gratitude for his great work and efforts spent in his activity.
Paolo Albertini, Medical Device Executive, Entrepreneur & Consultant, MDI Medical Device Innovation srl, Italy
