Awareness

Cybersecurity is a vital aspect of the digital world, as it protects both individuals and organizations from malicious attacks that can compromise their data, privacy, and reputation. To achieve a high level of cybersecurity, there are some foundational technologies that should be implemented and followed.

Course Details

In an increasingly interconnected world, especially with the rise in remote work, the security of an individual’s systems and the systems of employers are one in the same.

Cybersecurity is ultimately everyone’s job, and awareness training is a necessary first step in implementing cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as technical controls.

The goals of this interactive, human-centered course extend beyond cybersecurity awareness compliance requirements. Our curriculum development team and instructors are committed to helping learners to develop string security instincts they can apply to their daily routines, at work and otherwise.

Since this is a non-technical, introductory course, learners may wish to continue their cybersecurity education with upcoming technical cybersecurity courses that SafePC plans to offer in the future.

Earners of the Cybersecurity Awareness credential have successfully demonstrated a fundamental understanding of the following areas of cybersecurity:

  • The importance of cybersecurity within an organization, and the role of compliance frameworks in building out a cybersecurity program
