Cybersecurity Awareness for the Whole Workforce
Attackers stopped hacking firewalls years ago — they hack people, one convincing email at a time. The organisations that hold are the ones where every employee knows what an attack looks like and reports it in minutes, not the ones with the most expensive tooling.

Most successful breaches begin with an ordinary person doing an ordinary thing — opening an attachment, approving a login prompt, pasting a client file into a chatbot. This programme is cybersecurity awareness training for employees in the truest sense: designed for the whole workforce, from reception to the boardroom, with no technical background assumed and none created. Participants learn to recognise phishing, voice and message-based social engineering as patterns rather than one-off tricks; to run password and passkey hygiene that survives real working life; to use AI tools productively without leaking company data into them; to work safely from home, hotels and airports; and — most importantly — to report suspected incidents fast, in a culture where the early reporter is thanked, not blamed. This is deliberately not a technical course: our specialist cybersecurity catalogue serves technologists. It is built as an in-house rollout product — cohorts drawn from every function, so the standard becomes organisational, not departmental. Delivered in English and French across the Middle East and Africa — Dubai, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Lagos — and live online.
What you will do
Who attends
Every employee who uses email, a phone or a company system — which is to say, every employee. The programme is built for whole-workforce in-house rollout: front-office and back-office staff, finance and HR teams handling the data attackers prize, executive assistants and leaders who are targeted precisely because of their access, new joiners and long-tenured staff alike. No technical background is required or assumed; technologists seeking depth are served by our specialist cybersecurity catalogue.
Programme agenda
Built for the decisions no textbook prepares you for
I.Why people are the target
- How modern attacks actually unfold: from first email to full compromise, told without jargon
- What attackers want from your role — every function holds something worth stealing
- The myth of the obvious scam: why intelligent, busy people click
II.Phishing & social engineering recognition
- The anatomy of a phishing message: urgency, authority, familiarity and the manufactured deadline
- Beyond email: voice calls, SMS, QR codes and requests arriving through collaboration tools
- The verification reflex: pausing, checking through a second channel, and the phrases that make it easy
III.Passwords, passkeys & account hygiene
- Why reuse is the real danger — and how a password manager removes the memory burden
- Multi-factor authentication and passkeys: what they protect, and the approval-fatigue attacks that abuse them
- Personal accounts, work accounts and the boundary that keeps a home breach out of the office
IV.AI tools & company data
- What happens to data pasted into an AI tool — and why "it seemed harmless" is the classic opening line of an incident report
- A practical decision rule: what may be shared, what must be anonymised, what never leaves the organisation
- Using approved tools well: productivity with AI inside the organisation’s guardrails
V.Working securely anywhere
- Home networks, public Wi-Fi and shared spaces: the realistic precautions that matter
- Devices in transit: screens, locks, USB media and the hotel-lobby printer
- Physical and social access: tailgating, shoulder-surfing and the confident stranger with a clipboard
VI.The reporting culture clinic
- What to report, to whom, how fast — and why "probably nothing" is exactly what to flag
- The first minutes after a click: containment steps anyone can take before help arrives
- Building the no-blame reflex: how teams and leaders make early reporting the norm
Frequently asked
Is this a technical cybersecurity course?
No — deliberately not. It is awareness training for the whole workforce, from reception to the boardroom, with no technical background assumed and none created. Technologists seeking depth are served by our specialist cybersecurity catalogue; this programme makes every other employee a working part of the organisation’s defence.
What topics does the programme cover?
Recognising phishing and social engineering across email, voice, SMS and collaboration tools; password, passkey and multi-factor hygiene that survives real working life; using AI tools without leaking company data; working securely from home, hotels and airports; and reporting suspected incidents fast, in a no-blame culture where the early reporter is thanked.
How do organisations roll it out across the workforce?
It is built as a whole-workforce in-house rollout: cohorts drawn from every function — front office, back office, finance, HR, executive assistants and leaders — so the security standard becomes organisational rather than departmental. Content is tailored to your organisation and runs as one full day or a series of half-days.
In which languages and formats is it delivered?
In English and French, in person across the Middle East and Africa — Dubai, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Lagos — and live online for distributed teams. Dates follow a rolling calendar and are agreed on request; fees and rollout quotations are provided on enquiry.
