Cyber Security

Description

About this course

Cybersecurity is not only the responsibility of the IT or security team. Every employee who uses email, passwords, mobile devices, business systems or social media can influence an organisation’s security.

This cybersecurity training pathway gives everyday users a practical understanding of the risks they are most likely to encounter and the behaviours that help protect both themselves and their organisation.

The course begins with the fundamentals of information security, then develops into practical guidance on password security, email threats, malware, mobile devices, social media and social engineering.

Designed for organisation-wide rollout, the training helps build stronger security awareness across teams and supports a more resilient security culture.
