Cyber security is no longer just an IT concern — it’s a daily responsibility for everyone. This course provides practical, easy-to-understand strategies to help individuals and organisations protect against cyber threats, minimise risks, and respond confidently to potential crises.

Description

Through clear explanations, real-world examples, and interactive activities, learners will develop the knowledge and skills needed to stay ahead of common attacks such as phishing, ransomware, and social engineering. The course focuses on practical actions that can be applied immediately in both personal and professional settings.

By the end of the course, learners will not only understand the threat landscape but also know how to strengthen their defences, build a security-aware culture, and play an active role in keeping their workplace and community safe.
