This cyber security awareness course online provides essential knowledge to help staff recognise cyber threats, protect data, and reduce the risk of cyber-attacks.
Cyber security is the protection of systems, networks, and sensitive data from digital threats such as phishing, malware, ransomware, and data breaches. In today’s digital workplace, these risks are increasing rapidly.
Recent UK government data shows that 43% of UK businesses experienced a cyber security breach or attack in the past year, affecting around 600,000 organisations, with cybercrime costing the UK economy billions annually. Strong cyber security awareness is therefore essential for every business.

This online cyber security course equips staff with practical skills to identify risks, respond to suspicious activity, and reduce human error one of the leading causes of cyber incidents. Staff handling personal data may also benefit from our Data Protection and UK GDPR training courses.
