Smarter Digital Services have joined forces with Kent Connects and NLAWARP to bring you a cutting-edge Cyber Security Awareness e-learning course.

This course isn’t just about learning; it’s about empowering individuals to stand strong against cyber-attacks.

Why Choose Our Course?

We blend e-learning with real-life scenarios, providing practical skills to safeguard data. During the course you will meet people such as Rachel, a community engagement officer who is not sure what to do with the personal data she collects; Jamal a project Manager who is working in a coffee shop and needs to know what to do when he leaves his lap top in a public place; and Meera an Admin Assistant who fears she may have just become a victim of a phishing email.

To equip you and your teams with the skills you need to fend off cyber-attacks effectively, the course contains six sections:

  • Protecting information.
  • What are cyber threats.
  • Steps to avoid cyber attacks.
  • Password security.
  • Cyber security best practices.
