The Complete Cyber Security Awareness Training for Employees

Explore ISO27001 in detail, compare the 2005 and 2013 versions, and learn why the 2013 version is widely recognized and recommended, while some still use 2005.

Explore how information security management systems protect confidential information and standardize cyber security with ISO27001-2013, which includes 14 groups, 35 control categories, and 114 controls.

Understand ISO 20071:2013 standardization and certification, including third‑party verification by INAB through Certification Europe, and Annex A controls on information security, access, suppliers, and business continuity.

Explore how social engineering attacks, the biggest corporate cybersecurity threat, rely on persuasion and impersonation by executives or VIPs, including fake investments, and why avoiding them matters.

Explore how social engineering exploits trust to breach information systems, with four-step attack patterns and common examples like physical, social, and reverse social engineering.

Detect and prevent social engineering by staying vigilant, reporting unsolicited calls and emails, and applying training, multifactor authentication, regular password changes, and minimizing personal data on social media.

Explore how phishing attacks enable cybercriminals to steal money and data, why employees stay vulnerable, and how to recognize and defend against various phishing techniques.

Understand phishing and its forms, including spear phishing, whaling, smishing, and vishing, and how attackers harvest usernames and passwords via fake links and impersonation.

Recognize phishing by understanding the lure of fake password resets and suspicious links, then mark unknown senders, report phishing to IT, and verify links with antivirus protection.

Learn to recognize sophisticated phishing attempts through fake emails and urls, verify identities via separate channels, and stay current on scams impersonating IT, HR, or tax authorities.

Identify phishing indicators by checking subject urgency, the sender’s address, and prompts to reset passwords. Hover links to verify URLs, note off-hours messages, and beware suspicious attachments.

Learn to recognize COVID-19 phishing tactics, including fake websites, vaccination-related scam emails, and charity fraud, and apply safe cyber security measures to report suspicious activity.

Recognize how malware, despite antivirus defenses, remains prevalent due to human error, and learn signs of infection alongside immediate troubleshooting steps and prevention strategies.

Protect devices against malware by practicing malware awareness, avoiding suspicious links and attachments, safe browsing, installing legitimate apps, updating antivirus and device software, and backing up and encrypting files.

Disconnect the device from the internet, boot in safe mode, delete temporary files, run antivirus, remove unfamiliar apps, and reset browser settings to clear cache; consult IT if needed.

Follow this malware removal simulation to disconnect from the network, boot in safe mode, delete temp files, run antivirus, uninstall unfamiliar programs, and clear browser cache while restoring default settings.

Learn how firewalls defend organization systems, differentiate them from IPS/IDS procedures, and how IPS/IDS protocols work to protect against unauthorized access and threats.

Learn how firewalls, IDS and IPS defend networks by inspecting data packets and classifying threats. Staff collaboration and regular updates enhance adaptive, learning defenses.

Protect personal information from hackers by creating strong passwords and avoiding common passwords, while securely managing multiple business accounts without forgetting credentials.

Choose strong passwords to defend accounts from hacking; use at least eight characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols, and consider a passphrase and password management tools.

Use a password management tool to securely store and auto-fill login details, relying on a strong master password to protect multiple accounts and set the stage for two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of protection by requiring two of three factors—something you know, something you have, or something you are—such as OTP or biometrics.

Learn how to use the internet securely to protect company applications and accounts. Recognize unsecured websites and leverage a virtual private network to reduce cybersecurity threats.

Learn to use secured wireless devices and networks, enforce BYOD policies, and protect data by connecting only to trusted Wi-Fi, securing browsers, and guarding against phishing and sniffing threats.

Identify unsecured websites and practice safe browsing to reduce cyberattack risk. Check that urls begin with http or https and look for the green lock to confirm security.

Learn how a company-owned VPN encrypts data and secures connections, especially on public Wi-Fi, enabling remote access and safe file access from home or any location.

Identify legitimate websites by checking for secure connections and https, using Firefox, Google Chrome, or Safari, and avoid unsecured sites to protect personal data and prevent a data breach.

Guard against evolving cyber threats by applying physical security and company-wide cybersecurity best practices. Learn guidelines to create a safe, threat-aware workspace whether remote or in the office.

Prevent visual hacking by staying vigilant, facing screens away, locking devices, and never leaving gadgets unattended, reducing sneak peeking and unauthorized access in public and office spaces.

Access control systems act as gatekeepers, monitoring entry and exit, enforcing least privilege and time-based access, and guarding against piggybacking.

Keep your workstation clean and organized to deter cybercrime, protect PII, shred papers instead of trash, avoid sticky-note credentials, use a password manager or 2FA, and always lock screens.

Learn how encryption protects sensitive data and backups by transforming it into ciphertext, using symmetric or asymmetric methods, including public key encryption (PKE) with private keys for decryption.

Locking the server room protects critical data by safeguarding centralized file, mail, backup, web, and database servers with restricted access, CCTV, motion sensors, alarms, and electronic locks.

Adopt a proactive security posture by implementing ISO27001-2013 inspired awareness programs, employee orientation security protocols, and IT-led phishing simulations to verify employee adherence and reduce breaches.

Enhance information availability for authorized users by using a virtual common area and central electronic storage, backed by ISO20071:2013 protocols and real-time mirror systems.

Explore how cloud-based storage like iCloud, Google Drive, and others affects data security, addressing malware risks from removable drives and threats such as data theft, information leakage, and file deletion.

Learn how cloud security protects data stored in the cloud by encryption, strong passwords, and two-factor authentication, while avoiding public networks and managing file sharing and backups.
