Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Employees
Description
Cyberattacks often begin with everyday actions: clicking a link, opening an attachment, approving a sign-in request, sharing information, downloading software, or connecting a device before verifying that the request is safe. The FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center's 2025 Annual Report reported more than $20 billion in losses, showing how costly cybercrime can be for individuals and organizations.
If you are an employee, supervisor, or manager who uses email, mobile devices, business systems, or online accounts as part of your work, this course will help you recognize common cyber risks, pause before acting on suspicious requests, verify unusual activity, and report potential threats.
