Programme overview
Cybersecurity & Data Protection Awareness is an intensive two-day programme for non-technical staff, managers, entrepreneurs, schools, NGOs and organisational teams. It translates cybersecurity into practical everyday decisions around identity, phishing, devices, networks, data protection and incident response.
Participants complete demonstrations, risk exercises and a tabletop response activity, then leave with a Personal/Team Cyber Hygiene & Incident Response Action Plan that can be applied immediately.
