Cyber Security Awareness Certification Training for all Employees
What Is Security Awareness Certification Training?
Security awareness training teaches you to spot fakes, avoid risks online, and use good cyber-hygiene practices at work and at home to protect themselves and their organization’s assets from loss or harm. Criminals take advantage of your trust, panic, greed, fear, and human error. With generative AI, cyber attacks can be more sophisticated, targeted, and difficult to detect, increasing the potential impact and effectiveness of malicious activities.
Your employees are the weak point in your security infrastructure. Make them your strength with our Certified CyberSecurity Awareness Professional Certification training.
Students learn how hackers use social engineering tools like spoofing, Deceptive Phishing, Generative AI, Quishing, W2 Phishing, Search Engine Phishing, Pharming, Spear Phishing, Whaling / CEO Fraud, Vishing, SMiSHing, Dropbox Phishing, Google Docs Phishing, Image Phishing, Piggybacking, Dumpster diving, Eavesdropping and many more. With different types of Malware like Computer viruses, Worms, Trojan horses, Ransomware, Spyware, Adware, Scareware, Keylogger, etc you want to be aware of threats around you. The overall goal is to protect you from financial losses, identity theft, and damage to your reputation caused due to breaches of security by criminals.

Why Companies & Individuals Need Security Awareness Training?
FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center annual report says in 2019 US victims lost $3.5 billion, which does not include unreported losses. The benefits of investing in security awareness training outweigh the cost of a leak or breach. The following are some of the potential repercussions should your business fall victim to a cyber-attack:
Loss of revenue
Reputation damage
Loss of clients
Operational disruptions
Lawsuits
Intellectual property (IP) cyber theft
Theft of personally identifiable information (PII)
Compromised client data, sensitive business information, and equipment
This training is the first line of defense and can help the company prevent the above-mentioned problems.
Who should take this training?
Technology alone cannot protect you from cybercrime threats. Criminals go where security is weakest. Humans are considered the weakest link in the chain. Humans are a link in the chain & the first line of defense.

Kids
With kids having access to the internet through cell phones, laptops, iPads & tablets at home, kids must take this training as criminals can use different techniques to hack into their home network, possibly leading to a breach.

This course is a true tour de force when it comes to cybersecurity. The sponsors focus on the issues and threats that impact on all of us. How, and to what extent, you implement the information and advice provided will depend on your needs, risk tolerance, and ability to withstand the consequences should a threat materialize. The material is well organized and paced in such a way that the “student” has time to make notes. Whether you are a student, a person responsible for a household, retiree, employee, corporate official, or security officer, you will find the material here you can understand and, importantly, put to use immediately in your cyberenvironment.
