About the Training

In today's digitalized business world, information security is no longer just a technical precaution but a cornerstone of corporate sustainability. This training aims to build a strong culture of “Data Security and Cyber Awareness” across all levels, from office staff to managers. Participants learn how to manage risks that threaten the confidentiality of corporate data and company reputation, while also gaining essential skills to protect their personal digital assets (banking, social media, private life) against cyber threats. Our goal is to cultivate individuals who recognize risks proactively and protect both their organization and themselves.

Section 1: Digital Threat Landscape and the Human Factor

The Invisible Face of the Cyber World

• The Value of Data: Why are personal and corporate data targeted? The Dark Web economy and the journey of stolen data.
• Current Threats: How Ransomware, Spyware, and Botnet attacks operate.
• Corporate Risk Analysis: What does a data breach cost a company? (Financial loss, legal penalties, and difficult-to-repair reputational damage).

Social Engineering: “Hacking the Human”

• The Art of Manipulation: How hackers exploit human psychology (fear, curiosity, urgency) instead of technology.
• Phishing Simulations: Techniques to instantly detect fake emails, SMS messages, and CEO fraud attempts (Whaling).
• AI-Assisted Attacks: Awareness of next-generation fraud using deepfake audio/video technologies. Which AI tools can help eliminate these risks?

Section 2: Digital Shields and Practical Defense

Digital Identity and Access Security (Digital Hygiene)

• Password Management: The end of the “123456” era. Formulas for creating uncrackable passwords and using Password Managers.
• Risks on Mobile Devices: Access limitations, app management, and mobile-specific risk control.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA): Why should we “double lock” digital accounts? Biometric security and authentication apps.
• Public Networks (Wi-Fi) and Risks: Protecting data while working in airports, cafés (VPN use and secure connections).

Device and Data Security Practices

• Mobile Security: Can smartphones act as spy devices? App permissions, location services, and mobile threats.
• Backup Strategies (3-2-1 Rule): Essential principles to ensure business continuity when data loss occurs.
• Attack Response Management (Crisis Scenario): “What should you do if you see a ransom note on your screen?” Isolating the device and reporting correctly to IT teams.
