Description
Nowadays, if you’re in the workforce, you’re pretty much guaranteed to work with a computer in some way.
That means that whether you know it or not, you’re a potential risk for cyber attacks.
Maybe you think you’re too small-time to be a target, or too savvy to fall for that sort of stuff…well, that’s what everyone else who’s ever been targeted thought too.
Of course, you might just not know what risks you’re facing. A lot of people don’t – because there are a lot of potential risks, and some are less obvious than others.
We all know to avoid scam emails…but did you know that connecting to public wi-fi is a potential security risk?
Not to make it seem all doom and gloom, of course. The steps you can take to protect yourself are quite simple.
In a brief but informative 30 minutes, this course outlines all of these potential risks and their simple, effective solutions, including what to do if you are hacked.
