The following new trainings are being released:
- Phishing Introduction
- Content: Phishing is one of those terms that many people may have heard but very few actually have a grasp on. One of the reasons surely is that it’s an umbrella term, and individual attack types are known by their individual names. In this course we will introduce you to what phishing is and give you an overview of the different phishing methods you might encounter.
- Tailgating
- Content: Cybercriminals and other bad actors don’t just target organizations digitally. Some of them are bold enough to try to sneak into office buildings, warehouses, and other restricted areas. In this training, you will learn how to spot potential attackers, how to prevent them causing any damage, and what to do when you suspect that someone unauthorized might have gained access to a restricted area.
- Phishing & AI
- Content: Artificial intelligence has developed significantly over the past few years. Unfortunately, cybercriminals have quickly found ways to abuse it for their malicious schemes. In this training, you will learn how cybercriminals make use of AI to improve their Spear Phishing attacks and what you can do to protect yourself against them.
- Ransomware
- Content: Ransomware attacks represent one of the biggest cyber threats to organizations worldwide and often result in enormous financial damage and data loss. It is a form of malware that is capable of locking screens or encrypting files and entire systems in order to demand an often large ransom for their release. In this e-training, you will learn about the characteristics of a ransomware infection, the dangers of this type of malware, and what you can do to protect yourself and your organization.
- Dark web
- Content: Cybercriminals have been drawn to the dark web for a long time. It is the perfect place for them to organise and execute their criminal activities in secret. In this training, you will learn more about the particularities of the dark web that make this possible and what you can do to protect yourself.
- BEC Attacks
- Content: A BEC attack is a social engineering scam that is becoming increasingly popular with criminals. In these scams, attackers impersonate known authorities or partners in order to convince organizations to transfer large amounts of money, change account information, or hand over confidential information. Learn more about this scam, the dangers of a successful BEC attack, and how to protect yourself and your organization in this e-training.
