Industrial Mastery Pathway
Cyber Security Foundations
Tier 1
Operational Overview
Most cyber attacks do not start with clever code. They start with a phone call, an email, or a moment of doubt that gets talked away. The most damaging UK cyber incident of recent years began with exactly that: a single phone call to a helpdesk.
This course gives you the practical awareness to be the person who spots that moment, rather than the person who unknowingly opens the door. You do not need a technical background. You need to know what to look for, what to question, and what to do next.
