  • Spot the red flags of scam emails, texts and calls - including spear phishing, whaling and deepfake fraud - before you click, tap or reply.
  • Protect your accounts and devices with high-payoff habits: passphrases, multi-factor authentication, a password manager, updates and backups.
  • Learn from real incidents - WannaCry, the Mirai botnet, 23andMe, TalkTalk and the $25M Arup deepfake - and understand exactly what went wrong.
  • Explain how attackers get in: malware, Trojans, drive-by downloads, stolen sessions, brute force, DNS spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Build your personal defense-in-depth playbook and finish with a printable cyber-hygiene checklist you can apply the same day.

FAQ

  • Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
    • A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
  • Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
    • A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
