It's a practical complement to any technical security work we do for a business: the systems can be locked down correctly, but people still need to understand the basics of safe day-to-day use.

  • Core concepts in data security, privacy and identity protection

  • Using networks, wireless connections and firewalls safely
  • Browsing and communicating securely (email, messaging)
