What is CyberSmart Academy?
CyberSmart Academy is designed to educate your employees on the cyber threats they face in the workplace and how to avoid them.
The CyberSmart Academy appears as a new tab in your desktop application, called Training. The training is broken down into bite-sized modules, each of which should only take 10 minutes to complete. There are eighteen modules in all, each covering the most common security issues faced by any business as well as practical advice on how to counter them.
For the best results (and to keep security fresh in employees' minds), we recommend users complete one module every month. These modules have a due date following this schedule (beginning from the date the user gains access to the CyberSmart Academy).Currently, you cannot change or turn off the due dates.
We are proud to have partnered with Bob’s Business to provide the content for the modules included in the Academy. For more information about Bob’s Business, please visit their website.
There are a total of eighteen modules that are part of the CyberSmart Academy. These are:
Keeping It Clear
Backing Up Data
Perfect Passwords
Mobile Working
Phishing Fears
Secure Printing
Protected Premises
Email Etiquette
Mastering Malware
Web Woes
Social Media
Identity Theft
Perfect Passwords
Unauthorised Personnel
Understanding Malware
Internet Safety
Clear Workspaces
Business Continuity
The modules have been chosen to cover the most important threats that organisations face and can’t be changed or modified between organisations.
Due dates are set based on the date the user got access to the Academy. When the Academy is first enabled, all users who are already in your organisation will have the same due date. If a user is added to the organisation after the Academy is enabled (e.g. a new employee joins the company), their due dates are calculated based on the date they were added to CyberSmart.
This feature can be monitored from the dashboard by the admin for the company by navigating to the Academy tab on the main screen.
We understand that everyone has busy months, so to help your employees remember their training, we’ve created email reminders.
These email reminders are sent 1, 3, 7, 30, and 60 days after the due date. If the notifications become too much, the company admin can switch them off.
To do this please head over to the Manager Org section of the Dashboard and select Your Organisation. The toggle for the email reminders will be displayed, as shown below.
