Course Overview

In a world of digital technology, it is easy to forget one sobering fact: our identity can be stolen anytime and anywhere. Hackers, malware, botnets, and all form of digital threats are ever more sophisticated, waiting in the shadows for that one opportunity to steal your sensitive information. Your instructor, an expert in cyber security, reminds us of just how vulnerable our data really is and the steps we can take to protect it. Each lesson will teach you how to come up with an undecipherable password, how to secure your information on social media, how to detect threats, how to identify frauds, how to find out what personal information is floating on the web, and how to protect your children against cyber predators. No matter how stringent our defenses are, there are no silver bullets against cybercrooks. Human error is often our biggest vulnerability. With this training, we can better protect ourselves online.
