Security Awareness (AI-Era)

6 Interactive Sessions

Short, interactive sessions: watch it work, try it, then build it yourself. You can go deeper at any time in the written chapters.

1. 1

   Why attackers aim at people

   Most attacks today go through people, not machines. That puts every employee on the front line, and one click can be the whole break-in.

2. 2

   Spot a fake message

   A fake message does not break into your computer. It works on your feelings, so the way to catch it is to slow down and look for the clues that give it away.

3. 3

   Protect your password and sign-in

   Accounts get taken over mostly because people reuse passwords. A different password for every account, plus a second check when you sign in, stops most of it.

4. 4

   Handle information by its label

   Not all information is equal. Its label tells you where it can go, who can see it and how you can share it.

5. 5

   Use AI tools safely

   AI tools are safe to use with care. Pasting company information into the wrong one can hand it to strangers, and an AI that reads untrusted content can be tricked into working against you.

6. 6

   When something goes wrong, report it fast

   Everyone makes a mistake sometimes. What decides whether a mistake becomes a break-in is reporting it straight away, without shame.

How this certificate is scored

Your certificate shows how many of your written answers met the rubric below, checked by an AI grader. Anyone who checks your certificate sees it.

• You answer 6 short questions, one for each module, in your own words (at least 40 words each).
• An AI grader checks each answer against what its module asks for: it must answer the question, use the course's practice case specifically, and be correct.
• To pass, at least 5 of the 6 answers must meet that bar. The certificate says the answers were graded by AI.

The rubric

1. Module 1, The Attacker's Playbook: A working model of how human-targeted attacks unfold — and why you're the target.
2. Module 2, Phishing & Social Engineering: The red flags and psychological levers, and the habit of verifying through a trusted channel.
3. Module 3, Passwords, MFA & Account Takeover: Unique passphrases + a manager, MFA on, and never approving a prompt you didn't start.
4. Module 4, Handling Data Safely: Classifying data by sensitivity and sharing it only through approved channels.
5. Module 5, The AI-Era Risks: Knowing what's safe to paste into AI tools, plus prompt injection and deepfake awareness.
6. Module 6, When Something Goes Wrong: The report-fast reflex: no shame, no delay, preserve evidence.
