This Cyber Security Awareness online training course is all about protecting devices, networks, software, applications and data from cyber threats and should be used by all employees within an organisation.

It offers straightforward practical steps that will help to protect an organisation from cyber-attacks. The course aims to help the user understand how security breaches can occur, what to do to prevent cyber-attacks, and how to identify security weaknesses and strengthen them.

The course is split into three sections.

1. Cyber Security

Cyber security is the practice of protecting electronic devices and data from cyber threats. Cyber security counters cybercrime - which is when one or more cybercriminals target electronic systems belonging to both individuals and organisations, usually to make money, or to simply cause disruption.

Cyberattacks are the malicious attempts by these cybercriminals to steal sensitive data or disrupt electronics.  

This section gives an overview of what cyber security is and why it is important.  It also shows how to define cyberattacks and the different types of attack that can occur such as malware, phishing, social engineering, man-in-the-middle attack and DoS attack.

This section is interspersed with interactive questions to ensure that you are understanding the content.

2. Cyber Security Breaches

A cyber security breach is when the security measures put in place to protect your organisation’s electronic systems and data fail to stop a cyberattack.  This section covers reasons as to why this may have happened such as past employees or human error.  It also covers the need for Policies, Procedures and Recovery Plans to be in place that can be followed in the event of a security breach.

This section finishes with a question to ensure you have understood the content.

3. Your Responsibilities

This section covers the things that we can do to minimise the dangers of a cyberattack occurring to include creating and storing passwords, multi-factor authentication, emails, software protection, internet security, social media security, data storage security and device and data disposal.
