CyberReady

Learn it. Spot it. Stop it.

One program. Six short modules, one hands-on lab, one certificate — two hours end to end. CyberReady teaches you what online attacks actually look like, then lets you practise spotting them. No jargon. No IT background needed.

The program

One program. Three phases. Two hours.

Every step below belongs to the same program — you move through it in order, from the first module to the certificate, without leaving CyberReady.

PHASE 01

Learn

Six modules, twenty minutes each. Plain language, real examples.
01

Introduction to Cybersecurity

20 min

Who attacks, why, and what they are actually after — the plain-English foundation for everything that follows.

02

Social Engineering & Phishing

20 min

How attackers use urgency, authority and fear, and the tells that give every one of them away.

03

Passwords & Authentication

20 min

Why passwords fail, how to build ones that don’t, and how multi-factor authentication protects you even when a password leaks.

04

Protecting Devices & Data

20 min

Phones, laptops, updates, backups, public Wi-Fi, and what to do if a device is lost or stolen.

05

Cyber-Safe Work Environment

20 min

Safe habits at the desk, at home and on the move — email, files, shared networks and reporting.

06

Cybersecurity Compliance

20 min

What rules and policies actually ask of you, in language that makes sense without a legal background.

PHASE 02

Practice

The lab unlocks when the modules are done. Three exercises, unlimited retakes.

The CyberReady Lab

3 exercises

A safe simulation where getting it wrong costs nothing. This is the step most awareness programs skip — and the one that changes behaviour.

01
Identify the Phishing Email
02
Inspect the URL
03
Check Password Strength
PHASE 03

Certify

Finish the lab and your certificate is issued immediately.

Your CyberReady Certificate

Issued instantly

A verifiable certificate with a unique link anyone can check. It does not say you attended — it says you can spot an attack.

Start at step one.

Module 1 takes twenty minutes. Free for individuals.
