Security Awareness Now!™
Our core series of practical, high-impact online training modules
Phishing . . . ransomware exploits . . . social engineering . . . supply chain attacks . . .
More and more, cyber attackers use such techniques to target users—people—rather than attack an organization’s networks and systems directly. Too often, they succeed.
But your people shouldn’t be your organization’s weakest link when it comes to cybersecurity. They can, in fact, be your greatest resource . . . if they are aware, knowledgeable, and motivated . . . when they are prepared to think and act effectively.
Our Security Awareness Now!™ video-based modules prepare your employees to act as your organization’s first line of cyber defense and protect themselves online.

Security Awareness Now!™ Modules
A Tale of Two Breaches
Cybersecurity threats come from many directions, and even harmless incidents can have far-reaching repercussions. This module traces the origins and implications of two large data breaches. Learners see how seemingly harmless individual actions can be critically important to an organization’s cybersecurity. They begin acquiring specific steps for improving their security consciousness and preparedness.Using Email Securely
As email connects employees with the outside world, it presents one of the biggest opportunities to gain unauthorized access to enterprise systems. This module explores email vulnerabilities, teaches email best practices, and prescribes what to do when email is hacked or compromised.Phishing
Phishing is aptly named because it uses bait to dupe unsuspecting victims into providing access to enterprise systems. This In this module, employees learn how to spot phishing scams, avoid taking the bait, ensure that their devices are protected, and deal with phishing emails they receive.Phishing Plus
Workplace-related phishing scams have become more sophisticated and targeted. This module builds on our Phishing module—increasing ability to spot scammers’ psychological ploys, recognize the telltale signs of phishing and pretexting, and thwart spear phishing, business email compromise, and whaling attacks.Vishing & Smishing
All employees are increasingly vulnerable to non-email-based phishing attacks in the form of vishing (voice-based phishing) phone calls and smishing (SMS, or “short message service”) text messages. This module dispels common misconceptions as it prepares learners to recognize and thwart these types of attacks.Creating Strong Passwords
Most passwords in use today are completely ineffective—either too common, short, and easy to crack or impossible to remember. This module augments our Password Security module. It dissuades learners from using overworked password strategies that can easily be hacked and demonstrates how to come up with strong passwords they can actually remember!Password Security
Passwords provide access, and weak passwords are easiest way for an organization or individual to be breached. This module motivates learners to take password security and credentials protection seriously. It enables them to create strong passwords and practice effective password management.Password Management & Authentication
Most users have unique passwords for scores of active accounts—a lot of passwords to manage! This module emphasizes the pitfalls of ineffective password management and surveys the advantages and available features of password management software. It also prepares learners to choose identity-authentication questions and answers that won’t be easily hacked.Mobile Device Security
Mobile devices—phones and tablets—have become a preferred way to connect with the on-line world. And they have become a preferred target of hackers. This module alerts employees to key vulnerabilities and demonstrates how to know whether a device has been compromised. Employees learn specific techniques for keeping devices secure.Wireless Network Security
Wireless networks afford unprecedented opportunity to maintain online presence and boost work productivity. They also invite unprecedented security vulnerability, as many public wireless networks lack even the most fundamental security measures. In this module, learners come to recognize the potential threats and learn how to protect themselves and their organizations.Social Engineering
Social engineering refers to efforts to turn the most basic elements of human nature against people so as to gain unauthorized access to data and systems. This module demonstrates how social engineers use human psychology to create relationships that become stepping stones to cybersecurity breaches. It prepares employees to both recognize and resist social engineering exploits.Protecting Against Malware
Infecting devices with malicious software—ransomware or other types of malware or spyware—is one of the most common ways of collecting information or, worse, gaining deep, unauthorized access into enterprise systems and assets. In this module, employees learn how to recognize the signs of malware attack and respond to them, keeping their devices safe.Protecting Personal Data
Data is increasingly the lifeblood of any enterprise, and protecting data is one of the key responsibilities of every employee. Through this module learners come to recognize the different types of enterprise data that are critical to protect, and the key do’s and don’ts for effective data protection.Protecting Against Insider Threats
This module alerts employees to the many ways that internal cyber threats, intentional and unintentional, may arise in the daily operations of any organization. Employees learn how to respond to safeguard the organization’s critical assets.Cyber Security and Social Media
Social media are an increasingly prevalent part of daily life and work. In this module learners explore the cyber vulnerabilities that arise when engaging with social media, and how cybercriminals and hackers exploit them. They acquire practical, effective ways to avoid or reduce the associated cyber risks.EACH CONCISE, CONVENIENT MODULE BRINGS CYBERSECURITY TO LIFE
