Course Overview

You get an urgent email from your "manager" demanding an urgent payment. A colleague's account is sending weird messages. You find a USB drive in the parking lot. Your computer is acting slow and strange.

Most employees freeze, second-guess themselves, or wait too long to report. And that's exactly what cybercriminals are counting on.

The truth: You don't need to be a security expert to stop an attack. You just need to recognize the warning signs and know who to tell.

This course uses real scenarios to show you exactly what security incidents look like in everyday situations, and what to do when you spot one.

You'll learn to recognize:

• Phishing emails and social engineering tricks (even the convincing ones)
• Ransomware warning signs (before it's too late)
• Suspicious behavior from coworkers, vendors, or strangers in the office
• System weirdness that might signal an attack
• Physical security breaches  (lost devices, or mystery USB drives)

You'll also learn:

• How to report quickly (who to contact and what to say)
• What details matter when documenting what you saw
• Why reporting fast, even if you're not sure, can stop massive damage
• How to communicate with IT, your manager, and security teams
• Why you won't get in trouble for "false alarms"

Through realistic simulations, you'll build the confidence to:

• Trust your instincts when something feels off
• Act immediately instead of waiting or hoping it's nothing
• Follow your company's escalation process without panicking
• Help minimize damage and protect your colleagues

Here's what most people don't realize: The difference between a minor incident and a catastrophic breach is often just one employee recognizing something suspicious and speaking up in time.

That employee could be you.

20 minutes of training could save your company millions, and yourself from legal liability.
