Course Description

Human error is a key component in major security breaches, which is why training employees on cyber security awareness is so important. Organizations can substantially enhance their security posture and cyber resilience by educating workers to detect and respond to cyber-attacks. This course educates employees on how to detect and respond to cyber-attacks. It covers the following areas:

In module one, we'll examine the cybersecurity space by looking into prevalent cybersecurity trends and by defining some key terms in cybersecurity. We will also look at the interactions between cybersecurity and social media.

To learn more about the different roles and actors in the cybersecurity space we will move to module two which looks at cybersecurity roles and actors. Here, we'll examine the many sorts of roles in IT security departments in both large and small organizations and look at what is ideal. We'll look at cybersecurity actors including hackers, government, hactivist and more.

In module two, you'll learn about the numerous kinds of security threats that exist including natural and human threats as well as the types of malware you should be on the look out for. You'll learn about the most common types of malware and the countermeasures you can take against the malware. You'll look at numerous kinds of malware including:

  • Worms
  • Adware
  • Ransomeware
  • Viruses
  • Spyware

In module three, you'll learn how to identify the different types of social engineering attacks and the kinds of actions you can take to prevent falling victim to social engineering attacks.

Finally, in the last module, you will learn how to foster a culture of good cybersecurity habits. You'll also learn how to report a cybersecurity incident.
