Public Networks and Computers Assessment

This module teaches learners about safe web browsing.

Social media has become an integral part of everyday life for individuals and businesses. In many cases, it is the primary method used to communicate with friends, family and customers. This module explains common security risks related to the use of social media in business, and ways that learners can protect themselves and their company from social media threats.

Our interactive Safe Browsing module shows learners how hackers can launch attacks from unsafe websites and outlines best practices for safe browsing. Topics include use of HTTPS (using SSL or TLS), unsafe links, web pop-ups, browser alerts, plugins and downloads. Lessons from our Phishing and Malware modules are also reinforced for increased retention.
