Cyber Fluency: Practitioner
Make GUARD habits reliable across your accounts, payments, devices, data and team
You know the GUARD habits. This course from the Enterprise Technology Association (ETA) makes them reliable across your whole job and your team: accounts and access that stay clean as people come and go, payment and help desk processes that hold up against convincing fraud, safe sharing in cloud and chat tools, backups that actually restore and a clear plan for the first hour of an incident.
What you'll learn
- How to run accounts, shared access and offboarding so old keys don't pile up
- How to secure laptops, phones and home offices you don't fully control
- How to build payment-change and help desk checks that stop business email compromise, voice fraud and deepfakes
- How to share safely in cloud storage and chat tools, and set up backups that defeat ransomware
- How to run the first hour of an incident and practice it with your team
Who it's for
People who've finished Cyber Fluency: Foundations (or know its GUARD framework) and want to apply it across their work: team leads, office and operations managers, finance and HR staff, and anyone who's the "go-to person" for technology on a small team.
How it works
Three modules with a hands-on Try it exercise in every lesson, a knowledge check at the end of each module and a final assessment with short written answers. Score 80% or higher on the final assessment to complete the course (2 credit hours). This course and Securing AI at Work: Practitioner make up Level 2: Practitioner of the ETA Certified Cyber Fluent Professional.
This course teaches good security practice. It is not legal advice, and your organization's policies always come first.
