About the course
Who this course is for
All employees who use a corporate device or account. No technical knowledge required; the target audience is not the IT team but the end user, who is the real entry point for attacks.
Why it matters
Most corporate cyber incidents start not with a technical vulnerability but with a link an employee clicks. Phishing, fake invoice and executive impersonation attacks bypass technical defenses and target people directly. That is why the highest-return part of a security investment is often not software but awareness.

How often is the course updated?
This course was last updated in 2024. Catalog content is reviewed regularly to reflect changes in regulations and practice.
How many users can it be licensed for?
Licensing depends on the number of users and the term. Tell us what you need and we’ll put together the right package.
Can we use the course together with phishing tests?
Yes, and that is the recommended approach: first assign the awareness course, then run a simulation, and repeat the course for groups that performed poorly. Even if your simulation tool is separate, the course content works independently.
