This course teaches you to think about it before — so you are prepared for threats that are getting more sophisticated every year. Across 3 modules, you will learn how the digital world creates risk, how the most common threats work in plain language, and the practical habits and tools that protect your accounts, your data, and your devices without requiring any technical background.
