Cybersecurity awareness training: seven everyday habits
In this cybersecurity awareness training for employees you practise the everyday habits that keep a company safe: locking your screen, installing updates, choosing safe Wi-Fi, leaving found USB sticks alone, keeping the door closed to strangers, keeping work files in work tools and reporting mistakes fast. Each step starts with a situation from a normal working day, and you decide what to do before you see why.
Most attacks on companies don't need a genius. They need one open door: a screen nobody locked, a laptop that skipped an update, a door held open out of politeness. Each habit below closes one of those doors, and each takes a few seconds.
In this lesson you'll:
- decide what to do in seven everyday situations, then see what each choice leads to
- learn the one habit that handles each situation, and why it works
- practise with new situations and check your answers
- leave with a short list of habits to start this week
It takes about 50 minutes. Nothing you do here touches a real system: every network, file and message is made up.
Try it: press Play the day, then press any tile to read its habit again.
Takeaway: security at work is mostly seven small habits, repeated.
