Introduction

The Security Awareness Principles course is intended for anyone that uses a computer on the internet. Participants will understand the security threats as well as the countermeasures associated with these attacks. They will learn that the weakest link in any security program is a poorly trained employee. This course teaches general security awareness, how to secure information as well as how to develop a strong security culture within your organisation’s community.

This program is innovative and trains participants on how attacks are performed, the skills necessary to perform an attack, how to identify an attack and most importantly: how to effectively empower internal targets (employees). Participants also learn how to train others.
