Objective
The two most common ways that malware accesses your system are the Internet and email. Malware, or “malicious software,” is an umbrella term that describes any malicious program or code that is harmful to systems. There are many forms of malware, including viruses, exploits, adware, Trojan, worms, ransomware, and spyware. Just visiting a malicious website and viewing an infected page and/or banner ad can result in a drive-by malware download. All it takes is for one unsuspecting person to create an opening, and malware can infect an entire network.
The course is designed to educate employees to understand how malware can infect your device, how you can avoid malware, and what action you need to take when you get infected by malware. In this course, you will be asked to read through lessons, participate in learning activities, and partake in knowledge checks designed to reinforce learning followed by the end of the course final assessment.
