An urgent-looking payment request or a request for information from a familiar name can lead an employee to act without thinking. This course shows how social engineering can exploit human tendencies such as trust, curiosity, fear and time pressure. Employees review habits such as verifying identities and requests through an independent channel, pausing to think before sharing sensitive information and reporting suspicious contacts. In this way, the organization can complement its technical security layers with careful human behavior.

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 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.
