Course Overview
Digital safety is a fundamental skill for individuals and professionals, especially because nearly 80% of organisations in Singapore have experienced cyber attacks. From sensitive personal information to critical organisational data, it is important for everybody to understand how to safeguard against cyber threats. Your ability to recognise, respond to, and prevent security incidents directly determines the integrity of your digital interactions and the security of valuable data.

Digital Safety Fundamentals is a 2-day course designed to equip you with the knowledge, plans, and practical steps you need to handle digital threats safely and effectively. You'll dive into common online dangers, learn about key rules for protecting data, and pick up proven methods to respond to cybersecurity incidents, empowering you to effectively protect yourself from potential daily scams. This will help you make your online presence stronger, mitigate potential cyber risks, and help build a safer digital future.
