Welcome to the CyberSecurity Basics course organized by Exprivia Spa. It was created by Digital Factory Cybersecurity.

The issue of cybersecurity is very important in today's world, where the Internet dominates many relationships: social, professional, economic and political.

Cybersecurity is essential to protect the networks we use in our daily lives, from sending an email to exchanging opinions on a social network,

from looking for a job to making economic transactions. As we rely on technological tools on an almost daily basis, it is essential that we protect ourselves

to prevent sensitive information (such as banking data, personal and confidential information) from being stolen by third parties with unclear intentions.

For example, a company could be at risk of cyber espionage, while an individual could be at risk of having access to their bank account or online payments stolen.

But how do we enforce IT security in all of these situations?

This course will provide you with the basic information necessary to adopt certain behaviors to reduce the risk of encountering malware delivered through phishing or vishing emails.

This course will also give you the tools to understand that even if a cracker is not interested in our data, he or she could use our computer as a mass weapon to target critical infrastructure, such as a power plant, to cause large-scale disruptions.

Here is the Summary of everything that we will see in this specific course:

1. IT Security in general

2. The weak link in the chain (Phishing and Vishing)

3. The most widespread threats (Viruses, Spywares, Worms, Trojans, Ransomwares, Adwares and other online threats)
