Cybersecurity Essentials for Every Employee
One hour on reading a phishing message in Arabic and English, locking down your accounts and phone, and acting in the first ten minutes after a mistake.
Instructor
Yousuf Al Rawahi
What you will be able to do
- Identify who really owns a link within seconds, and read phishing signals in both Arabic and English messages.
- Stop a suspicious payment through second channel verification instead of judging the sender's tone or the look of the message.
- Move from a memorised password pattern to a password manager, and pick the form of two step verification that survives phishing.
- Handle company files on a personal phone without leaking them into personal storage and apps.
- Execute the first ten minutes after a click, and write a report the security team can act on.
About this course
Written for the ordinary employee, not the IT team: the accountant who releases Sunday payment runs, the office manager carrying company files on a personal phone, the engineer opening supplier attachments. The examples come from working life in Oman and the Gulf, where the week starts on Sunday, urgent requests land on Thursday afternoon, and a supplier bank detail change arrives two days before payment. Instead of general definitions you get specific checks to run before you click, controls you can write into a department policy, and an ordered sequence for the first ten minutes after something goes wrong.
