With nearly 2 million data records stolen each day and sophisticated threats emerging at an alarming rate, it is imperative that we arm ourselves with the information needed to detect, defend and respond to information security threats as they arise. In this highly interactive course, learners will explore key information security concepts, examine threats and how to counter them and review safe computing habits that can be applied at home and in the workplace. The course is titled ‘A Day in the Life’ and is presented in a simulation-style format that follows two virtual characters as they go about a typical day in the workplace and encounter security incidents along the way. Learners will get a chance to practice good security habits in a safe environment by guiding our virtual characters through real-world security situations. By following the best practice lessons covered in this course, participants will be better able to recognize cyber threats and know how to defend against them.
