ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ

In today’s hyperconnected world, organizations face a constant stream of cyber threats — from phishing emails and ransomware to data breaches and insider risks. Despite advancements in
technology, human error remains the weakest link in cybersecurity defences, accounting for the majority of security incidents across industries. To address this critical challenge, organizations must ensure that their staff — at all levels — are aware, informed, and proactive in identifying and responding to potential threats. The Cybersecurity Awareness Course has been designed to meet exactly this need by empowering employees with the knowledge and habits necessary to protect both personal and organizational information assets.

This short but impactful 6-hour program focuses on building a security-conscious mindset and promoting responsible digital behavior. Participants will learn how to recognize suspicious activity, apply safe online practices, and understand their individual responsibility in maintaining a secure working environment.

The course aims to support organizations in:
• Reducing the likelihood of human-related security breaches.
• Fostering a culture of cybersecurity awareness and accountability.
• Ensuring compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements such as GDPR, NIS2, and DORA.
• Enhancing the overall cyber resilience and reputation of the organization.

By participating in this training, employees become the first line of defence against cyber threats — capable of recognizing, avoiding, and reporting potential security incidents promptly. This awareness-driven approach not only protects critical assets but also helps organizations build trust with customers, partners, and regulators.
