This course provides a comprehensive breakdown of workplace digital security, focusing on real-world scenarios, defense habits, and actionable reporting protocols
Cyber Threat Fundamentals: Understanding attacker motivations, entry points, and the ripple effects of system breaches on business operations.
Recognizing Attack Vectors: Identifying social engineering techniques, malware delivery methods, ransomware encryption demands, hidden keyloggers, botnet risks, scareware pop-up traps, and physical USB “drop traps”.
Credential & Password Hygiene: Creating high-entropy passphrases (8+ characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols), eliminating password reuse, and leveraging secure password managers.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Securing logins with push notifications, avoiding SMS vulnerabilities, and handling unauthorized login prompts.
Device & App Security: Applying the Principle of Least Privilege to application permissions and strictly restricting unauthorized external storage devices.
Phishing & Incident Response: Inspecting sender email addresses, previewing links via hover tools, identifying fraudulent requests, and executing the three-step response workflow (Don’t interact, Report to IT, Delete & alert).
