Frequently Asked Questions
The course opens from the premise that no server patch, firewall, or antivirus fixes the biggest weakness in information security: the human element behind most company breaches. It's built to close that gap through practical, employee-level security awareness covering everyday habits and behavior rather than more technical controls.
It covers social engineering in three specific forms: phishing, vishing, and baiting, alongside physical security practices and how to report suspicious activity around the workplace. Together these give employees a broader picture of manipulation tactics than an email-only course would typically provide on its own.
Yes. The training addresses computing safety, safe browsing, and email security, plus breach prevention through strong passwords and keeping software updated. These everyday digital habits are taught alongside the social engineering content, rounding out an employee's overall awareness of common workplace security risks.
The stated goal is lowering corporate risk by turning employees into an informed first line of defense, rather than leaving security entirely to technical controls like patches and firewalls. That shift in responsibility, from systems alone to people, is presented as the training's core organizational value.
The course frames most company breaches as originating from the human element rather than a purely technical gap, which is why it opens by explaining where breaches occur before moving into specific threats like phishing, vishing, baiting, and unreported suspicious activity.
No Server Patch, Firewall, or Antivirus Software will fix the most overlooked weakness within Information Security.
The human element is to blame for the majority of company breaches – Making a companies most valuable asset their greatest liability.
