Course Overview

Cyber attacks are no longer a matter of “if” but “when.” Data breaches cost organizations an average of $4.45 million per incident, and 95% of security breaches result from human error—not technology failures. A single employee clicking a phishing link, using a weak password, or falling for a social engineering attack can compromise your entire network and expose sensitive patient, financial, and business information.

This comprehensive security awareness training equips employees with the knowledge and skills to be your organization’s first line of defense against cyber threats. Employees learn to recognize common attack vectors—from phishing emails and malware to social engineering tactics—and apply security best practices that protect both work and personal devices.

The course covers real-world threats employees encounter daily, providing practical guidance on password security, safe browsing, email hygiene, and mobile device protection. By understanding how attacks work and what red flags to watch for, your team becomes an active defense against threats that can result in data breaches, ransomware, identity theft, and regulatory violations.
