Cybersecurity Knowledge Gaps Are Putting Your Business at Risk
Evolving Threats Outpace Awareness
Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, launching attacks that exploit human error as much as technical vulnerabilities. Ransomware attacks increased by over 150% in recent years, and phishing remains the number one attack vector for breaching small and mid-size businesses. Despite this escalation, many organizations across Raleigh, Durham, and the greater Triangle region lack the training necessary to recognize and respond to these threats. Employees unknowingly click malicious links, IT teams misconfigure critical security controls, and business leaders underestimate the financial devastation a single breach can cause. The average cost of a data breach now exceeds four million dollars, and for small businesses without proper cyber insurance and incident response plans, it can be an extinction-level event.
Compliance Confusion Creates Exposure
Regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, CMMC, NIST SP 800-171, DFARS, PCI-DSS, and GDPR create a labyrinth of requirements that most businesses struggle to navigate. Each framework demands specific security controls, documentation practices, and audit procedures. Without proper education, organizations in the Research Triangle Park, Cary, and throughout North Carolina remain vulnerable not only to cyberattacks but to regulatory penalties, contract losses, and reputational damage. The gap between what businesses know about cybersecurity and what they need to know grows wider every quarter. This is precisely why continuous cybersecurity education is no longer optional. It is an operational necessity for any organization that handles sensitive data, works with government contracts, or serves clients who expect their information to be protected.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Webinar Topics
Each webinar delivers expert insights on critical cybersecurity subjects, designed for professionals at every experience level.
Ransomware Defense & Recovery
Ransomware is the single most destructive threat facing businesses today. Our ransomware-focused webinars walk you through the complete attack lifecycle, from initial infection vectors like phishing emails and compromised RDP sessions to lateral movement, data exfiltration, and encryption deployment. You will learn how to implement layered defenses including immutable backups, network segmentation, endpoint detection and response solutions, and incident response procedures that minimize downtime and data loss. We cover real-world ransomware case studies from our 22 years of experience and show you exactly how organizations that were prepared recovered quickly versus those that were not. These sessions are essential viewing for any business leader or IT professional in the Raleigh-Durham area who wants to understand and mitigate ransomware risk.
HIPAA & Healthcare Compliance
Healthcare organizations face unique cybersecurity challenges due to the sensitivity of protected health information and the strict requirements of HIPAA regulations. Our HIPAA webinar series covers the Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule in detail. You will learn how to conduct a proper HIPAA risk assessment, implement the required administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, establish business associate agreements, and build documentation practices that satisfy auditors and regulators. We address the specific challenges faced by medical practices, dental offices, behavioral health providers, and healthcare technology companies throughout North Carolina. Each session includes practical guidance on policies, procedures, and technologies that align with both HIPAA requirements and real-world operational needs.
CMMC & NIST Framework Training
Defense contractors and government suppliers throughout the Research Triangle Park corridor must comply with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171 frameworks to win and retain contracts. Our CMMC and NIST webinars break down the certification levels, required practices, and assessment processes in clear, actionable terms. You will learn how the 110 security requirements of NIST SP 800-171 map to CMMC levels, what documentation auditors expect to see, and how to build a System Security Plan and Plan of Action and Milestones that demonstrate genuine compliance rather than checkbox compliance. These sessions draw from PTG's extensive experience helping defense contractors across NC achieve and maintain certification, giving you insider knowledge of common pitfalls and proven strategies for success.
Phishing Prevention & Social Engineering
Over 90% of successful cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, making human awareness your most critical line of defense. Our phishing and social engineering webinars teach you how to identify sophisticated phishing techniques including spear phishing, business email compromise, whaling attacks, smishing, and vishing. You will learn how to build a security awareness program that actually changes employee behavior, how to run simulated phishing campaigns that measure and improve resilience, and how to configure email security technologies like DMARC, DKIM, and SPF to block spoofed messages before they reach inboxes. These sessions complement our comprehensive Security Awareness Training program for ongoing protection.
Zero Trust Architecture & Access Controls
The traditional perimeter-based security model is obsolete. Our zero trust webinars introduce the principles of never trust, always verify and show you how to implement this architecture in practical, incremental steps appropriate for organizations of any size. You will learn about multi-factor authentication deployment, identity and access management, micro-segmentation, least-privilege access policies, and continuous verification strategies. We cover how to evaluate and implement the security controls required for a zero trust posture and how PTG's proprietary Zero-Hack Stack implements these principles across 39 defensive layers. These sessions are particularly valuable for organizations in Raleigh, Durham, and the broader Triangle area looking to modernize their security architecture.
Risk Assessments & Penetration Testing
You cannot protect what you do not understand. Our risk assessment and penetration testing webinars teach you how to evaluate your organization's security posture through the eyes of an attacker. You will learn the methodology behind professional risk assessments, including asset identification, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, and risk scoring. We explain the differences between vulnerability scans, penetration tests, and red team engagements, and help you determine which approach is right for your organization and budget. These sessions cover both technical testing procedures and the business context that turns raw findings into prioritized remediation roadmaps. Whether you need to satisfy a compliance requirement or simply want to understand where your defenses are weakest, these webinars provide the knowledge foundation you need.
