Almost anything can be made into a "smart" device, such as security cameras and sensors, TVs, garage door openers, door locks, wearable devices, pacemakers, and even cars. These devices are what we refer to as the "Internet of Things" (IoT), which holds the promise of adding a whole new level of convenience and connectedness to everyday life. Having that many new, connected computing devices, most of which record activity, presents new challenges for security and privacy. This course teaches employees the best practices for IoT devices both at home and at work.

As the coronavirus pandemic has spread across the globe, cyber-attacks have also been on the rise. Cybercriminals have increased their phishing attacks and are creating new scams as more and more people are staying at home and potentially working remotely for the first time. This brief course will teach learners to recognize the current patterns and elements of coronavirus-based phishes and scams and provide best practices on how to avoid their traps and stay secure.

Learn how to stay ahead of hackers and cyber criminals who aim to steal data and insert malicious payloads by learning and applying the best practices outlined in this module.

Threats to our home network can quickly turn into threats to our workplace infrastructure and vice-versa. To combat against threats on all fronts, we must learn to practice safe computing habits both in the home and in the workplace. In this course, participants will be introduced to some key principles of safe system administration that they can use in the home that mirror techniques used in the workplace. By mastering the techniques found in this course, participants will learn to develop a regime of security-conscience behavior that will help keep important data safe from hackers, data thugs and cybercriminals.

Mobile computing devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets can be found everywhere - at home, in the office, and everywhere in between. These devices, combined with high speed wireless connections, make working remotely easier than ever. However, working outside of a company's secured facilities expose an organization's physical and information assets to additional threats. This course gives the best practices for working remotely.

Because today's smartphones and tablets can not only act as a phone, but also as an email client, mobile Internet device, camera, GPS navigation system, entertainment console, and platform for any number of applications (apps), they can be exposed to many of the same risks as a desktop computer. This HTML5-based, iPad-compatible course uses high-quality video and real-world simulations to teach best practices for mobile security.

Because today's computers and networks are heavily defended from a direct assault, hackers are now much more likely target end-users when trying to break in. If hackers can trick you into divulging your username and password or inadvertently infecting your computer with malicious software, they can use your computer as a launching point to further penetrate your organization's network. This HTML5-based, iPad-compatible course uses high-quality video and real-world simulations to teach best practices for recognizing and preventing both phishing and spear-phishing attacks.

Email and instant messaging (IM) are essential communication tools that most people use just about every day. They're incredibly useful applications because they allow you to quickly and efficiently exchange messages and files with just about anyone else in the world. However, its a two-way street, meaning that since you can connect with anyone online, anyone else, including hackers and cybercriminals, can connect with you. This course teaches employees the email and IM best practices to protect both their organization's sensitive information and their own personal information and identity from attack.
