Phishing Awareness

Description

Phishing Awareness (Online Training Course) is a practical, self-paced online programme designed to help individuals and organisations recognise, avoid, and respond to phishing attacks.

Phishing remains one of the most common causes of data breaches, financial loss, and cyber incidents. This course provides learners with a clear understanding of how phishing works, why it is used, and how cybercriminals exploit human behaviour to gain access to sensitive information.

Through real-world examples, interactive quizzes, and scenario-based learning, participants develop the knowledge and confidence needed to identify phishing attempts across email, SMS, phone calls, websites, and social media platforms. The course also focuses on prevention strategies and best practices for staying safe online in both professional and personal contexts.
