We’ve all seen those movie scenes where computer hackers use their super-fast typing skills to open a bank vault or shut down the power to an entire city. You may be thinking that things like that don’t happen in real life, but they do happen. Cybercriminals routinely steal critical data from unsuspecting individuals and businesses and then use their unauthorized access to extort billions of dollars every year from those same victims. Why can’t bad things only happen in movies?
Fortunately for you, cybercrime doesn’t work very well when your systems and information are properly protected – and that’s where Cybersecurity Essentials comes in. This training course covers areas of data security and safety that everyone needs to know, from how to create secure passwords to preventing yourself from becoming the victim of a social engineering attack. It’s been specifically designed for people without a robust technical background, which means the terminology and strategies in Cybersecurity Essentials should be easy to understand and follow even for people whose only solution for fixing a computer is to call tech support.
Oh, and it’s fun. Cybersecurity isn’t everyone’s favorite thing to think about, which is why we’ve worked hard to make Cybersecurity Essentials as entertaining as it is educational.
