Data, secrets and intellectual property can be leaked inadvertently with alarming consequences. A little insight can plug the knowledge gap and help staff act mindfully on social media platforms at work and at home.

The informal nature of social media invites casual responses that can be compromising personally, professionally, and organisationally. This course tackles one of the methods used by malicious attackers to infiltrate organisational boundaries. Help your employees make wise use of social platforms and stay safe online.
