Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

Cybersecurity Awareness: Online Safety Training (2026)

Most cyberattacks don't begin with sophisticated hacking. They begin when someone trusts the wrong message and makes a single click.

And in the age of AI, the bait has never been more convincing.

AI can now write flawless phishing emails, clone a voice from seconds of audio, and generate realistic video calls. The old advice — "look for bad grammar" — no longer works.

This course is a practical, beginner-friendly training designed to help you protect your personal and professional life from today's most common digital threats. No technical background is required.

Across concise lessons, you'll learn one powerful habit that defeats most scams and social-engineering attacks:

Pause · Verify · Act

Every lesson focuses on real-world situations, modern threats, and practical actions you can take immediately.

You'll learn how to:

  • Create strong passphrases and use password managers effectively

  • Protect accounts with MFA and modern passkeys

  • Detect phishing, business-email compromise, and AI-generated scams

  • Recognize deepfake voice and video fraud

  • Browse, shop, and bank online safely

  • Avoid malware, ransomware, and fake websites

  • Secure your phone and defend against SIM-swapping attacks

  • Lock down your home Wi-Fi and use VPNs correctly

  • Use AI tools safely without exposing sensitive information

You'll examine attacks that cost organizations millions of dollars, learn why intelligent people fall for scams, and build habits that continue working even as technology evolves.
