Cyber Security Awareness

This course educates the readers about the most common threats and how to avoid them in order to keep both their employers and also their own IT-system free from potential security threats.

Cyber Security Awareness refers to how much end-users know about the Cyber Security threats their networks face, the risks they introduce, and how much it reduces the company’s and personal security.

End-users are considered to be the weakest link and the primary vulnerability within a network/organization. It is, therefore, vital that all employees have a certain knowledge about how to act in the area of IT while at work, when traveling, as well as at home, and establish appropriate safeguards against cyber incidents.
