Why Security Awareness?
Data breaches are on the rise and it’s getting more and more dangerous to function online. This is where a good security awareness program is important. Most importantly, we (the nerds) need YOU to help keep things secure.
That’s right. Security is more than an IT or Security department function and we haven’t been as good at communicating that to you in the past.
You may hear professionals claim how everyone is getting compromised over simple attacks that have been around for decades. It starts off as something that’s easy to prevent then launches into an intelligence war. “It’s easy to protect yourself,” some may claim. “All you need to do is be careful what you download, who you talk to, and what you allow to happen.” They give off the vibe that people don’t care.
If you boil everything down to its most basic essence, then maybe that could be true. If it’s so easy then why do we continue to get hammered with news of more breaches?
Unfortunately, even the best security awareness programs out there are missing one key part.
The WHY.
Making Security Awareness Better
This security awareness training course will not only give you the “what” to look out for, but also the “why” and how the “what” works. After taking this course you’ll be armed with knowledge on how to better protect yourself and your organization from threats.
Surprisingly, the biggest change will probably not be to start doing, but rather to stop doing. You’ll be surprised to how some of your behavior is super risky, even without you realize you were doing it.
And the best part is, I won’t twist your arm or shame you into changing. I sincerely want you to succeed so there’s no victim shaming here. I believe there’s a better way to change your behavior than vehemently shove security terms and nerd speak down your throat.
This Security Awareness Course IS:
-
a security awareness course meaning it’s information and awareness based. We’re going to be looking at the “what,” the “why,” and some behaviors.
-
essentially a computer and Internet safety training course.
-
for anyone at work who has a security awareness training requirement.
-
for home users who simply want to learn more about internet security and privacy.
This Security Awareness Course is NOT:
-
a technical or operational security guide.
-
a technically charged course with jargon that only your IT or Security department would understand.
Since this course is NOT technical, beginners ranging form your co-worker that barely knows how to turn a computer on to your Grandma that uses Facebook too much can take and understand this course. We’re simply looking at threats, attack vectors, and behaviors to help reduce the sting of attacks.

Complete and splitted themes facilitating discussion, and possible we have new type of image examples of log in screens ou philshing to add on this part of the course.
Patti Hunt –
The material is logical and part of just using your common sense…however just like everything that is as important as security, its always good to have refreshers to keep it on the forefront so when the unexpected happens, your default response is the one you trained your mind for.
Heather Falzone –
The course was pretty good and informative. However, at least 3 of the questions were confusing at best. For example in the last section question 1 was do you report it to IT. Answer 1 was Yes … and Answer 2 was No … then it said but you should still report it to IT. If you ask should you report it to IT, your answer should be Yes or No. You should not say Yes or No, but then sneak in that you should still report to IT in the No answer.
Hal Duke –
so good. just so good. I’m blown away. When I read the LotR I was like meh. Then I consumed this course and realised what life was all about
Derek Harju –
Little new info. Few visual examples. Questions are procedurally lead and don’t require watching videos to answer. This deck presents as a formality rather than valuable info.
Vamsi Prakash Pantham –
Some of the topics discussed appears to be heard/known info but knowing in this manner was much informative and definitely learned how to better myself with respect to practicing security measures. Thank you for the course.
Walith khan –
For me as a beginner, it covers overall security tips and main areas to focus on to prevent phising mails.each and everys egment is to the point and very well explained.
Re Nocturne –
It was a good thorough security course. Might merit updating a bit since it seems it was made in 2016. Most of it wasn’t new to me, but there were a few gems that I didn’t know, which is rare for these types of training.
Irantzu Mateos –
I liked the fact that this course was both video and quiz. It was very visual and was easy to follow.
My only negative feedback would be that it becomes a bit long, so in my case I decided to perform it all though several days. I understand the content is super important but wherever possible to shorten I wonder if it would improve it as well (or divide in 2 parts?). Hope this helps! Overall, great training!

Came from Cyber background and frequently sent spam/phishing emails from internal IT resources testing our resolve.
