This fun, interactive training helps you spot threats and protect yourself, and your organisation, from hackers.
You'll begin by helping the Met Police beat the hackers and uncover whether Detective Nicola Crooks was framed by the very cybercriminals she’s investigating. After completing the escape room challenge, you'll reflect on what you’ve learned and explore key topics: why cyber resilience matters, types of security vulnerabilities (technical and non-technical), the importance of strong passwords, and how to recognise phishing emails.
This security awareness session delivers practical, engaging knowledge to help people better understand their online environment and feel confident challenging anything that doesn’t look right.
Trainer James is highly knowledgeable and friendly, and creates a supportive space where your team will feel comfortable asking questions.
