CyberSafe (Securing Assets For End-users)

Overview

Far too often, people end up being the weak point in an organization’s overall cybersecurity plan. Protect your people and your organization.

Even with millions spent on security infrastructure, all it takes is one employee clicking on one wrong link to compromise critical data and information systems. End-user security awareness is a major issue in the business world today. The threat landscape is complicated, and the typical end-user is unaware of the ways in which they could adversely affect their organization.

Course Details

Defend Against Real-World Threats
A single email can lead to a multi-million dollar breach in seconds, and the employee responsible may not even be aware of their mistake. The problem lies in the fact that too few employees know of the dangers of social engineering, much less how to detect it. CyberSAFE builds an understanding of basic social engineering tactics, as well as the ways in which they can be used to compromise a network.

An Engaging Learning Experience
There are a number of options in the marketplace when it comes to end-user cybersecurity training, but most are ineffective in building a true understanding of the end-users’ effect on organizational security. Delivered in a collaborative environment where open discussions are encouraged, CyberSAFE is the solution of choice for organizations that are ready to take their information security seriously.

Learning Beyond the Class
CyberSAFE gives students access to a unique learning platform that incorporates a multitude of ways to learn with video learning, peer-to-peer learning through social communities, checklists for on-the-job support, assessments that check for understanding, and so much more. All of these ensure end-users leave class with the skills necessary to immediately strengthen their organizations’ cybersecurity defenses.

The CyberSAFE Credential
To train is one thing, but to validate knowledge is equally as important. After class, all CyberSAFE students can complete the 10-question online assessment to receive the CyberSAFE credential. Aimed at validating the knowledge and skills developed during the class, the CyberSAFE credential ensures that end-users are equipped with the knowledge necessary to be good stewards of their organizations’ data.
