Awareness learning modules on IT security available online  [24.02.21]

The awareness learning modules on IT security are about raising awareness in dealing with IT against the background of attacks by so-called hackers on users' computers. The aim of these attacks is either to access data, trigger payments or permanently damage systems. In addition to the technical implementation, psychological tricks are used, which require a very close look, especially in the heat of the moment.

In the learning modules (currently only in german language), the terminology is explained in generally understandable language and it is taught what one should pay attention to. The modules are structured as follows:

1. Basics of cyber security
2. Using e-mails securely
3. Using mobile devices securely
4. Internet & web tools
5. Secure workplace
6. Malware

The learning modules are explicitly aimed at employees and students, and are designed to be practical and interactive. Each learning module contains concrete recommendations for action and ends with a final quiz.

Of course, breaks are possible so that the individual learning modules can be optimally combined with one's own time management.
