Securityone® Course Outline

Why Cybersecurity is a Challenge?

Cybersecurity has become a challenge, even for tech geniuses, and of course, for those who may not be technically inclined. It is difficult for many to assess risks, apply certain tools and enforce solutions.

Most of the time, we have to depend on experts to tell us what to do. In an increasingly volatile virtual space, the challenges need to be appreciated by all of us, to keep our data and ourselves protected. With Securityone® training, you will be able to take better control of your own privacy, and also help others overcome cyber challenges.

Why Cybersecurity Training is Essential for “the Rest of Us’

Cybersecurity is no longer just for cybersecurity professionals. Securityone® cybersecurity education is tailor-made for the rest of us, i.e. everybody.

All of us use digital devices, so it follows that we should be trained in cybersecurity. All students and organizational employees should be educated in cyber situational awareness looking at the latest developments in vulnerabilities, viruses and malware, threat intelligence, security alerts etc. A basic understanding will help them avoid potential threats and possible breaches in security.

Top 15 Cyber Threats faced by Office Users

Hacking

Remember those hooded guys in dark rooms spending hours hunched over a computer? Well, most of them are hackers. Hacking refers to the process by which unauthorized access is gained into a digital device. Hackers are often technical geniuses, however not all of them have criminal intent!

Spam

All of us who have email accounts are aware of this particular nuisance. Spam is unwanted, junk mail that the user never consented to receive but which fills up your inbox all the same.

Phishing Attack

Unsolicited emails, especially those asking for personal information, financial details, spelling mistakes, unwanted attachments are some ways by which cyber criminals endeavor to phish users. Phishing refers to how the attacker ‘fishes’ for information from the user using various kinds of bait.

Malware

Malware is any malicious software that once it gains access into your system, can wreak havoc. Malware generally refers to any botnet, virus, worm, spyware and Trojans, rootkits that could get into the system and corrupt it from within.

Ransomware

Ransomware is similar to malware i.e. it damages a system by gaining unauthorized access to it. However, in case of a ransomware, the hacker who masterminds it usually holds it over the particular person or agency whose network has been infected.

Botnet

Botnet stands for robot and network merged together. It basically refers to a multiplicity of networks that an attacker brings under his own control. Botnets are hacking tools used by the cyber criminals to remotely control other computers.

Data Corruption and Data Leak

This happens when data is rendered unreadable and becomes corrupted. Confidential data leak could cost a company billions, as well as customers and reputation.

Spoofing

Spoofing refers to a malicious practice whereby communication is sent in the guise of a source that would be familiar to the receiver. It is the practice of forging an address, making an email id look like it has been sent from a trusted source.

Sniffing

Secretly eavesdropping on existing traffic is referred to as sniffing. Sniffing data can lead to loss of private information. Passwords, private data, email traffic can all be sniffed.

DoS

Denial-of-service (DoS) is any type of cyber attack where the attackers endeavour to halt activities in a system by preventing users from accessing the service.

Trojans

These are malicious code that are given the appearance of benign applications but are here to steal, destroy your computer from within.

Rootkits

Rootkits are associated with other forms of malware such as viruses and worms. It enables the controller of the rootkit to remotely implement certain functions within the system without the owner’s knowledge.

Password Attack

Attacking a system by cracking open its password or simply accessing it in an unauthorized manner is known as password attack. An office under such a siege could lead to major consequences in its network, if its login credentials are leaked.

Advanced Persistent Threats

These are continuous stealth operations carried out by hackers to gain access into a target system and could go undetected for long periods of time.

Human Error

This is one of the main factors leading to crucial crisis in the office’s network and online presence. Irresponsible use of digital devices could expose an entire office to cyber threats.

Top 10 Cyber Threats Faced by Students

Cyber predators

Cyber predators scour the internet to lure innocent kids and abusing their trust and eventually luring them into revealing sensitive media or information. Children/students should communicate to whom they are talking to on social media or on chat rooms.

Cyberbullying

This is one of the biggest cyber threats facing your young one, whether it is a young child or a young adult. Protecting yourself and your child from cyber bullying, cyber stalking, online harassment and exploitation is one of the most massive challenges in the current digital scenario. Fraud prevention and prevention of victimization are major challenges that need to be addressed every day.

Anonymous Sharing

Anonymous sharing seen in apps like Snapchat allows temporary sharing of pictures of videos. Cyber bullies or hackers can screenshot information or personal images before they disappear. Though anonymous sharing is healthy, they shouldn’t overshare sensitive information.

Direct Messaging

While social media apps offer a variety of messaging services, it is also a popular place for cyber thieves who claim that the users’ account is hacked, to share suspicious links or to ask for personal information.

Email Attachments

Phishing emails are powerful way to scam students and children that can be personalized to match their interests. A mismatched or bad link from an unknown source can end up infecting or injecting a malware into a personal PC.

Media Streaming Sites

Video streaming sites like YouTube which streams about a billion hours per day is an attractive platform for cyber criminals. The description section and the comment section are used to post links that can end up infecting the users’ devices with malware.

Online Video Games

Most games hosted online are free and rely on pop-up ads to generate revenue. They also have built-in chat apps, where users might be prompted for the username and password or inappropriate content thought chat.

Old Posts

Anything posted on the internet is not temporary. Teenagers do not think about how a post might be offensive to a future boss or prospective spouse or even fall in the wrong hands of cyber bullies. Awareness should be created on what type of posts that can be posted on the internet.

Identity Theft

While social media sites encourage users to share their information, most students/teens fill out complete information including birth date and name, making them vulnerable to identity theft.

Illegal Content

Torrents can offer a range of free content that can be downloaded with the help of an app. Besides the ethical perspective of downloading illegal content, the downloaded content can also conceal malware within certain files. Students should be aware of legitimate sites to download free music, videos or images.

A cyber-skills shortage means students are being recruited to fight off hackers.

There aren’t enough cybersecurity workers out there—and things are getting worse. According to one estimate, by 2021 an estimated 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs will be unfilled. And of the candidates who apply, fewer than one in four are even qualified.
