Everyday Cybersecurity Awareness: A Two-Day HRDC Training Program

Most people think cyberattacks only happen to large companies, but everyday mistakes can put your personal information, money, and business at risk.

It’s time to stop taking digital security for granted and start protecting what matters.

Join us for Everyday Cybersecurity Awareness, a practical training designed to help you recognise common cyber threats, avoid scams and phishing attacks, protect your accounts and devices, and build safer digital habits in your everyday life.

PROGRAM SUMMARY

This is a two-day, HRD Corp claimable cybersecurity awareness program covering the everyday habits,
tools and reporting steps every employee needs regardless of role, age, or technical background.

WHO IS THIS PROGRAM FOR:

General employees across all departments and levels, in any Malaysian organisation. No prior IT or cybersecurity knowledge required.
Works for a mixed-age workforce, including employees nearing retirement or less digitally confident achieved through plain language, live demonstration, and hands-on pacing rather than a separate track.
Recommended group size: 15–20 participants per cohort.
Suitable as new-hire onboarding, an annual refresher, or a foundation module ahead of more technical IT security training.

By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:

Identify common cyber threats and the everyday risk they pose.
Spot a phishing, smishing or vishing attempt before acting on it.
Create and manage credential policy.
Browse, download and use public wifi safely.
Recognise common social engineering and scam tactics, including AI-assisted ones.
Cybersecurity Hygiene in SOHO and Home.
Handle personal and work data responsibly, including on mobile and hybrid-work devices.
Explain, at a basic level, how AI is used both to attack and to defend against cyber threats.
Report a suspected incident promptly through the correct channels.
