  • What if someone was able to gain access to your computers, accounts, and sensitive data?
  • How much damage could they do?
  • What do we need to do to secure our technologies?

It’s up to each of us to do our part in securing our cyber world. Failure to do so not only affects you but the world, businesses, and people around you. A single moment where you unconsciously click a link could take down your organization.
Learning how to protect yourself better online may be one reason you’re in this course.

Another reason may be to get employed in a cybersecurity career. According to the Security Magazine, 76% of security leaders believe there is a shortage of cybersecurity skills. That means there are many opportunities for cybersecurity professionals.
