Who should take this Cybersecurity Awareness Certification Training?
Technology alone cannot protect you from cybercrime threats. Criminals tend to go where security is weakest. Humans are considered the weakest link in the chain. Humans are a link in the chain & the first line of defense.
This Cyber Security Awareness Certification Training is specifically designed for today’s computer users who spend a substantial portion of their time using the Internet extensively to work, study and play.
- Employees
- Business owners
- Individuals applying for the first job in their life

With kids having access to the internet through cell phones, laptops, iPads & tablets at home, kids must take this training as criminals can use different techniques to hack into your home network, possibly leading to a breach.

Very informative. I really learned a lot from this training. I am now more aware of steps to take to ensure that as an organization, we are able to protect the patient information. Due to this training, I am better equipped to perform in my role as I do have a better understanding of what cybersecurity is all about especially in health care.
“Over the past year I have taken several online courses from the Supremus Group and found them to be excellent. The content is extremely relevant and up to date. I have used much of what I learned already to the benefit of my employer (a large government organization). I highly recommend them and urge everyone interested to take their courses. You will be happy you did!”
I am glad to have taken this course to get a better understanding of cybersecurity awareness to carry on throughout my career and spread onto others.
I love the information that was shared. I will share this along with my family and friends to make them more knowledgeable. Thanks enjoyed it!!!
Well explained and easy to understand. Very nice option for EVERYONE interested in knowing more about preventing cyberattacks at work or at home.
This was an excellent refreshing and touched on all of the topics of what should be included in a Security Awareness and Training program.
There are a lot of good information about the security awareness and people should take this course to understand and learn how we are also one of the victim in cyber security and how can we avoid.
Great Course! Was super informative. I look forward to obtaining more certifications.
