Be 2 Steps Ahead of Cybersecurity Risks
Course Description
Cybersecurity threats are an everyday concern for individuals and organisations alike. This course introduces learners to the reality of cyber and data breach incidents through the lens of real-world cases in Singapore. Learners will explore how common scams occur, how data is stolen or misused, and what actions individuals can take to minimise exposure to cyber risks.
Across both professional and personal settings, users are increasingly exposed to risks such as phishing, impersonation attempts, and unauthorised access to sensitive information. These threats often appear in the form of routine communication and everyday online activity, making them difficult to detect without foundational awareness.
Through hands-on examples and relatable local incidents, learners will build the awareness and confidence needed to adopt safer digital habits in the workplace, manage personal cybersecurity more effectively, and contribute to a security-conscious environment both within teams and as independent digital users.
