I designed this '1:M Cyber Security' beginners course for company employees, and home users, looking for engaging, memorable  and effective cyber security awareness training!

This course is designed to teach you the BASICS of cyber security awareness, social engineering, network security and online self defense, even if you have no IT / Cyber Security experience or knowledge.

What makes my course different, is that I speak passionately from the heart, using visuals, humor and storytelling throughout the training, to make it engaging, memorable  and effective! The training is literally 98% real world images and examples!

You will love watching the modules, because the curriculum is comprehensive enough to give you all the information you need to stay safe, secure and private on the Internet, and presented to you in a simple and entertaining way.

And while the content is presented in VERY simple terms, everyone, (even people with IT/Cyber Security skills) could learn from this course, because to be frank, ANYONE can being socially engineered these days (even including experts in the IT industry sometimes).

Furthermore, the entire time I was recording in studio, I kept thinking to myself “how can I make this material really fun and interesting??” I really tried to put myself in the mind of my students, so that I could present the information in a way that you would find interesting and engaging.

He does a great job of exposing various threats that we should be aware of.
The details regarding those are a bit lacking, so there's a lot of extra work you have to do in order to be confident you're good.
One way to improve this course is to have an overall workflow or set of workflows that will give you confident that you're 1) secure and 2) won't accidentally lock yourself out, which is my primary fear that keeps me from using security (encryption, especially, passwordless).
My fear(locking myself out of my own life) > fear(getting hacked)

Out of all the courses I am taking for my employee information security training, this one is the best! I can tell Reza took the time to rhetorically analyze the audience and design every element of the course around us. As a result, I'm retaining more information and having a better user experience. Thank you for an awesome course, Reza!
