Who is this course for?

This course is to help users become your last line of defence rather than a victim. The training provides the context and practical tips on recognising email and web threats using real world examples.

There will be interaction with the internet to demonstrate how sensitive details about a business and individuals can be obtained and sold on the black market along with a walkthrough of recent fraudulent emails and counterfeit websites.
