No matter your industry, organization size or even the geographical location, we are living in an age
of interconnectivity and every organization (also individuals) face a growing array of cyber security
risks. While and organization may invest heavily on technology that is designed to detect and prevent
breaches to their systems and network, they must also address the human side of the CyberSecurity
equation.
Your security is only as strong as your weakest link. The Security Awareness Training starts off with
any institution acknowledging that indeed humans (employees) are the weakest cyber security link.
Equally, they are classified as also being the first line of defense against cyber-attacks. With human
error playing such a big role in many security breaches from recent studies, this translates to the
importance of provision for the CyberSecurity trainings for employees.
With advancement and massive adoption of ICT in organizations brings with it an equivalent rise in
potential cyber security threats. Everyday people are using the internet, but few are concerned about
it, when it comes to the security. User online are susceptible to cyber-attacks including but not
limited to ransomware, system intrusion, website defacements and attacks, denial of service,
phishing, social engineering, database hacking, wireless network (Wi-Fi) hacks among others and
with the adoption of cloud computing and other emerging technologies such as IoT, the target for
cybercriminals widens further.
Cyber Security Awareness trainings is essential in providing every technology user (the training can
be customized for different audiences deeper for developers, security officers, IT professionals) with
a fundamental understanding of the imminent and ongoing cyber threats, preparing them for common
cyber-attacks and threats.
Objective
1. To educate the users upon their responsibility to help protect the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of their organizations information and information assets.
2. To contribute to the change of behavior of users of technology to keep safe from the
imminent cyber threats and attacks from hackers who are always on the checkout for victims.
This training is intended to promote and have a cyber-safe technology space.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Appreciate cyber security by understanding their exposure to the cyber criminals
Recognize information systems vulnerabilities, threats and attacks and their place in the line
of defense against cyber-attack.
Familiarize with the cyber-attacks leveraged on different spectrums through practical
sessions.
