Cybersecurity Awareness and Safe Device Use for Office Staff

Build everyday cybersecurity awareness for the administrative and office staff who handle email, files and devices that attackers frequently target. Participants learn to spot phishing, use strong passwords, handle data safely and respond correctly when something looks wrong. As African organisations digitise, non technical staff are often the first line of defence, and simple good habits prevent most incidents.

What you will be able to do

  • Recognise phishing, scam and social engineering attempts in email and messages.
  • Use strong passwords and multi factor authentication correctly.
  • Handle sensitive files and data safely on office and personal devices.
  • Follow safe habits for downloads, links, storage and public networks.
  • Report suspicious activity and possible incidents promptly.
  • Apply simple daily practices that reduce everyday cyber risk.
