About this course
Cyber awareness training is a vital part of an organisation’s information security measures.
Cyber-crime costs UK businesses a lot of money (Almost £30 billion per year to be more precise) and causes massive disruption. In fact, each year around half of all UK businesses has at least one security breach.
We are all responsible for keeping information safe when using computers and similar devices, so this Cyber security eLearning course has been designed for everyone to use.
It includes some straightforward practical steps that will help to protect computers, networks, programmes and data from unauthorised access, helping to safeguard the systems and information we use.
Cyber attacks are more prevalent than ever before, with ransomware attacking organisations (such as the NHS), airports, banks, and government departments; the need for organisations to implement cyber security training is obvious. Our Cyber Security Course can be completed in just 30 minutes and helps you to comply with current legislation.
We believe in practising what we preach. That’s why we are Cyber Essentials Certified!

Some outdated and unclear advice
Largely the training material is good, but a couple of sections are not hugely helpful. The term VPN can mean two very different things. There are a lot of VPN services, such as NordVPN, which advertise heavily and have claimed the term VPN to mean the sort of thing they are selling – typically a secure link between the client device and the service providers network, and used for anonymisation and privacy, geo-location shifting and security. The second, and more traditional meaning is a secure link from the client to their employers computer network. They are similar in how they work, but not the same. The former may not provide protection against man-in-the-middle attacks since they only provide a secure connection between the client and the VPN service, not from the VPN service to the resource the user is trying to access. The latter only provides this protection if the resource is hosted at the network the VPN connects to. Including this in general training feels out dated and in many cases doesn't help staff doing the training. The same would go for choosing a password – the method described is no longer particularly good, and if the person doing the training has been equipped with a password manager by their employer they should just use that for creating new passwords. If the employer doesn't provide a password manager, then the advice isn't particularly good – it effectively says "use this vague method to create a completely different password for each service, and then try to remember what you used across 10s or hundreds of sites. There are other sections where it isn't clear why anyone outside the IT team would need to understand what is involved – e.g. secure disposal of computer assets. If the company has no procedure or policy this doesn't help, and if the company does then the person just needs to follow the specific procedure.
Easy to follow and understand.
This was detailed but not overly too technical and easy to follow and understand.
Too slow
The courses are too slow and need the feature to be able to speed up the speaker.

Thorough summary of cyber threats and security must-dos
This was a 40 minute run through current cyber threats with simple explanations of terms such as malware, spear -phishing etc . Alongside this was a list of actions to be taken as an individual and as a member of an organisation to counter these. The course was in bite-sized chunks that could be repeated if needed, and links given for more information. The assessment quiz was quick and straightforward.
Updated Course
The course appears to have been updated with an AI section, good information and clear guidance throughout. What was a two yearly completion course has now changed to an annual completion course, which is probably a good thing as technology is constantly changing and cyber security is becoming more of an issue as the technology and devices grow.
it is a good course
Keeps you up to date with cyber security
Why is this training important?
Compliance
It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
Effective cyber awareness training will help your employees remain compliant at all times.
The General Data Protection Regulation builds on the long-standing 1995 EU Data Protection Directive. What does the GDPR mean for businesses? In short, dramatically increased fines for breaches and other changes including:
- Data breaches must be reported within 72 hours.
- ‘Personal data’ now includes location, IP address and RFID identifiers.
- People now have a right to “be forgotten”.
*The GDPR comes into effect on the 25th of May 2018. You can register your interest in our upcoming GDPR training.
The NISD
A complimentary directive to GDPR, which focuses more on critical IT systems and their infrastructure.
Business benefits
Cybercrime is incredibly disruptive and costs UK businesses almost £30 billion every year.
The damage it causes is not only financial, however; in a world that is increasingly digital and data-heavy, with an ever more tech-savvy customer base, the costs in lost revenue, reputation, and investment are just as detrimental. Then, there are the data protection laws which come with massive fines should personal data in your possession fall into the wrong hands. To make your stand and fight back against cybercriminals, you need a solid defence. This cyber security awareness training course is just the thing you need. It raises awareness of the key issues and main avenues of attack and provides solutions and defences against would-be criminals; protecting your money, your data, your reputation, and your customers.
