Cybersecurity Awareness Training
About this course
Cybersecurity Awareness Training covers the human-side of cybersecurity: recognizing phishing emails and social engineering attempts, safe password practices and multi-factor authentication, protecting sensitive data in email and file sharing, safe browsing and avoiding malware, reporting security incidents, and understanding how attackers target employees rather than just systems.
Human error is the leading cause of security breaches — employees who fall for phishing or use weak passwords create vulnerabilities no technical control can fully mitigate. This training is designed for non-security professionals who need security awareness for their jobs, making it the right foundational security course for any organization's mandatory training program.
