DEMONSTRATE
Respond to a Possible Malware Infection
Choose the safer response in each fictional situation involving suspicious software or device behavior.
1. A downloaded program suddenly asks for unusual permissions.
2. Your device suddenly shows repeated pop-ups and unfamiliar software.
3. A suspicious message says your files are locked and demands payment.
INTERACTIVE LEARNING
Learn by doing.
Cybersecurity becomes easier to understand when you can immediately put the concept into practice.
INTERACTIVE LAB 01
Password Security Check
Create a fictional example password and see which security characteristics it contains.
⚠️ Training only:
Never enter a real password into a website or
tool you do not completely trust.
Enter an example above to begin the demonstration.
ACCOUNT SECURITY
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication adds another layer of security to an account. After entering a password, users may be asked for another verification method, such as an authenticator code.
Protect your accounts
Enable 2FA on important accounts whenever possible, use an authenticator app when available, and never share verification codes with other people.
More than a password
A second verification factor can provide additional protection when a password has been exposed or guessed.
DEMONSTRATE
Configure Your Account Security
Imagine you are securing an important online account. Select the protections you would enable before considering the account ready. This is a fictional practice exercise.
1. What should you enable first?
2. You receive a verification code you did not request.
3. Which approach provides stronger account protection?
ONLINE SAFETY
Safe Internet Browsing
Safer browsing habits can help reduce exposure to scams, malicious downloads, and other online threats.
Check before you click
Check website addresses before entering sensitive information, avoid suspicious links and unexpected downloads, and keep browsers and devices updated.
Be careful on public Wi-Fi
Public networks can introduce additional risks. Be cautious when accessing sensitive accounts and avoid trusting unknown networks automatically.
DEMONSTRATE
Spot the Safer Browsing Choice
Choose the action that shows safer browsing habits in each fictional situation.
1. You receive an unexpected link asking you to sign in.
2. A website asks you to download an unexpected file.
3. You are using public Wi-Fi to access an important account.
