General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a law in the European Union which requires leaders to have a complete understanding of what personal data is and how it's handled by their company. Safeguarding people's data privacy rights and protecting sensitive information means properly obtaining consent and following best practices for compliance.
Defining Cybersecurity
It's hard to have a conversation about cybersecurity without throwing around a lot of jargon, so in this course we're going to break down some common cybersecurity terms. We'll define cyberspace, cybersecurity, cybercrime, and cyberterrorism. We'll also go over other familiar terms including malware, phishing attacks and emails, and identity theft.
Using Strong Passwords
Cybercriminals are always one step away from controlling your files, data, and access to your accounts. This makes it crucial that you create strong, secure passwords to protect against these threats. Once you've got great passwords, tools like password managers can help you manage them, and advanced security measures like passphrases and passkeys can make them nearly impossible to crack.
Protecting Your Mobile Device
Your mobile devices are just as vulnerable to cyberattacks as a standard desktop computer, and you since you carry them around wherever you go, it’s critical to make sure they're secured. Fortunately, even when it’s not always obvious how to protect these devices, you can always add security to your routine.
Malware
In this course, we will define malware and go through the warning signs of being attacked. Then, we'll go through what to do to best mitigate any damage.
Ransomware
Ransomware is one of the most dangerous types of malware. These are targeted attacks meant to lock down your company's computer systems and data, with the threat that they'll only be released if a ransom is paid. It's important to know what they look like, how to avoid them, and how to respond should they happen.
Email Phishing
You've likely received phishing emails. They're the emails that bait you to click on them. They show up in all forms, from blatantly fake emails, to confusing emails coming from your actual contacts, to emails disguised to look just like your bank or Netflix, or some other trusted provider. They almost always contain a link that they want you to click, or prompt you to fill out a form, or pay money, or otherwise ask you to reveal personal information in some way. In this course, we'll discuss why phishing emails are so successful, what you should do if you suspect you've received a phishing email, and the steps to take if you inadvertently click on a link.
Protecting Against Identity Theft
If you have access to people's private information, it's part of your responsibility to protect against identify theft. Cybercriminals use methods like theft and phishing to steal customer and employee data. Part of your role is preventing this. Strong security, regular check-ins, and other preventative measures can help you stay secure and build customer trust.
Empowering Leaders with Cybersecurity Training Essentials
Leaders must fortify their organizations against cyber threats through comprehensive cybersecurity training, utilizing CIA triad principles, effective training strategies, risk assessments, and mitigation techniques. This ensures that employees are vigilant and well-prepared to recognize, report, and respond to cyberattacks.
Your Role in Cybersecurity
Have you ever wondered how your everyday actions impact cyberthreats to your company? Then you'll want some practical strategies to cultivate a security-first mindset. This course empowers you to play an active role in protecting sensitive data and ensuring a secure digital environment wherever you work.
Social Engineering
If you got an urgent email from your boss asking for your company's latest financial reports, what would you do? Cybercriminals can pretend to be your coworkers, using only public information, sending you emails and asking for things; if you're not careful, you might not catch the difference. This is called "social engineering," and it can have major consequences.
Minimizing Insider Threats
According to statistics, insider threats are responsible for more than half of all data breaches. Insiders are part of the team in some way. It could be employees, vendors, third party affiliates, contractors, business partners, or former employees. It could be anyone who currently has or previously had privileged access to confidential or important data. An insider threat is the threat of malicious behaviors coming from someone who's a part of one of these insider groups. The cost to you could be enormous, so the purpose of this course is to help you minimize the risk.
Protecting Intellectual Property
This course is all about showing you how to keep your company's valuable ideas and inventions safe. You'll learn what intellectual property (IP) is, the common ways it can be stolen, and simple steps you can take to prevent that theft, especially in our remote and hybrid world. By the end, you'll be ready to help protect your company's secrets and keep everything running smoothly.
Everyday Cybersecurity: Protecting Your Devices and Data
Cybersecurity is no longer just the responsibility of your IT department-it's your responsibility, too. In this course, you'll learn practical steps to keep your devices, accounts, and data secure in your daily life. From strong passwords to avoiding public Wi-Fi traps, you'll gain the tools to protect your digital presence.
Avoiding Phone and Text Scams
Perhaps you've received a voicemail claiming that you owe the IRS thousands of dollars. Or a text pops up stating that you're the winner of a random lottery you didn't enter. "Just click the link to receive your winnings..." How do you know if these are factual or if they're scams? What should you do if you suspect a text or call IS a scam? That's what this course is all about. We'll discuss common phone scams, common text scams, and warning signs to be on the lookout for. We'll also talk about how to respond to scammers.
Secure Web Browsing on a Work Device
How often do you encounter cyberthreats online? Your daily web browsing routine might seem simple and safe, but there are countless threats to your digital security. It’s especially crucial to protect sensitive information on a work device by adhering to company policies and following best practices.
Cybersecurity While Traveling
You should be well-aware of online hazards while you work. The threat of cyberattacks travels with you, and public spaces and networks are especially risky. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to protect yourself.
