CABP-YN: Cybersecurity Awareness and Best Practices

Cybersecurity Awareness and Best Practices is a 1-day practical course designed to equip employees across all roles with essential knowledge of modern cyber threats and defense strategies. With digital threats evolving daily, every employee plays a critical role in maintaining a secure work environment.

This training focuses on:

• Understanding key cybersecurity concepts (e.g., phishing, ransomware, malware, social engineering)

• Recognizing real-world cyberattack scenarios and how attackers manipulate individuals

• Applying best practices like strong password management, multi-factor authentication (MFA), safe browsing habits, and device security

• Staying informed about new cybersecurity trends like AI-powered attacks and deepfakes

Participants will actively engage in simulations such as spotting phishing emails, creating secure passwords, and role-playing how to report suspected attacks to IT teams.

The course also emphasizes:

• Protecting personal and organizational data

• Building a security-first culture within teams

• Responding quickly and responsibly when incidents are suspected

• 
  

Real-world case studies (such as the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack and the SolarWinds supply chain attack) are used to illustrate how breaches happen—and how they can often be prevented through simple, proactive measures by employees.

By the end of this course, participants will:

• Be able to recognize and react to common cybersecurity threats

• Understand their role in safeguarding company systems and data

• Build better personal cybersecurity habits that translate into workplace security

• Feel empowered to report incidents and contribute to an organizational culture of vigilance

This course is essential for every employee—from frontline staff to senior managers—who accesses organizational systems, data, or communications.
