The Basic course is the second module in the programme and provides an opportunity for learners to understand what jobs exist within the cybersecurity sector. Learners are further encouraged to build on their cybersecurity awareness to understand more advanced concepts such as context establishment or expert cyber risk assessment.

Learning activities are focused around several core topics, aiming to foster knowledge, such as: 

• Understanding how to deal with the most common cybersecurity risks and threats, such as phishing, password weakness, ransomware, or data leakage.  
• Knowledge on how to identify threats and high-level risks in a business setting, including risk identification in general.
• Understanding of context establishment and testing and training of scenarios. 

At the end of the course students receive a CYBERWISER.eu Basic Diploma and they will be automatically included in the CYBERWISER.eu Cybersecurity Professional Register (CyPR).
