Cybersecurity

Help people spot phishing, protect data and prevent digital threats.

People learn to spot phishing by judging real-looking examples, not by reading a list of warning signs.

Teaching approach: Explore first. Learners decide whether an email is phishing before they learn the signs — a wrong guess makes the explanation stick.

What the lesson looks like

7Checklist — If you clicked on somethingDisconnect, report to IT, change your password.

Tips

  • Screenshots of real phishing your company received (with details removed) work best — add them as quiz images.
  • Mix in genuine emails so learners don't just answer "phishing" every time.
  • Always say what to do after a mistake and who to report to. People who fear blame don't report.
