Course Description

Cybercriminals evolve with time. They keep coming up with innovative techniques to penetrate networks and execute the intended fraud. Accordingly, phishing, vishing, and smishing have evolved as three prominent cybersecurity threats.

Bad actors are continuously in pursuit of networks and users through emails (phishing), vishing (voice and phishing), and smishing (cell phone messages). A single successful attack can lead to a widespread impact. And also, on the other hand, since the use of mobile phones and computers has become integral to almost every work routine, employers must take the required steps to increase cybersecurity awareness among their employees.

As well developed as the internal controls over our IT systems it is often the human element that allows criminals to commit online frauds against our businesses. This CPE course is designed to show how criminals use employees to commit data breaches or to place malware on an organization’s computers. Real-world examples will be presented to the audience.
