A short LinkedIn Learning course on cybersecurity awareness — recognising phishing, social engineering and everyday security risks, and protecting data at work. It is aimed at general staff rather than security specialists, a practical primer on staying safe online. Accessed through a LinkedIn Learning subscription.
