How to Train Employees to Avoid Malware & Ransomware Attacks

Learn What Malware  is  and How to protect against it and Prevent it getting into your system.

Malware is a malicious type of software that is designed to do harm. It works by encrypting a person’s computer files or locking them out of their own computer. In simple terms, it’s like having your important files put into a locked box that you can’t open. Then, the cybercriminals behind the ransomware demand a ransom, to give you the “key” to unlock your files or computer. If you don’t pay, they may keep your data locked, which can lead to losing important information, financial loss, and causing chaos in your work. 

What  You will Learn:

• Educate employees on recognizing malware warning signs, such as unexpected pop-ups and files suddenly becoming unreadable. 
• Emphasize that employees should never pay ransoms. It’s essential to discourage negotiations with cybercriminals. 
• Stress the importance of reporting ransomware incidents promptly to the IT or security team for swift action. 
• Provide guidelines for proactive steps like regular data backups, using reliable security software, and exercising caution with email attachments and links. 

By completing this course, you will gain the knowledge and skills to recognize and prevent malware attacks, protecting your personal and organizational data.

Remember: Malware is a constant threat. By staying informed and following best practices, you can significantly reduce your risk of falling victim to these attacks.
