Reviews
I have just completed the Cybersecurity Awareness for Employees Certification with Vinsys, and it was a real eye-opener for me. I had no idea that minor errors, such as clicking on random links and using easy-to-guess passwords, could compromise the entire organization. The trainer was very easy to understand and relate to using real examples of cyberattacks, and the sessions were engaging. I am now a lot more confident when it comes to dealing with emails, safe browsing, and reporting suspicious activity in the workplace.
Idris HaliluAdministrative staff
To be honest, I believed that this course would be boring as it focuses on security rules and policies; nevertheless, Vinsys made it very interactive. The trainer also used quizzes, live examples, and group discussions that kept me engaged all the time. I have learned some valuable insights about phishing, device security, and the safe use of Wi-Fi in public areas that I had never considered before. I believe that all employees must undergo this certification to ensure their organization is not a victim of cyber threats.
Sani OladepoIT employees
The only reason I undertook this course in Cybersecurity Awareness was that our company had mandated that we undergo these lessons. However, after attending the sessions offered by Vinsys, I realized how useful this knowledge can be. The instructor was outstanding and gave me valuable tips that I began to apply in my daily practice. I now pay attention to the senders of emails, and I use complicated passwords.
Usman WoboSales professionals
I attended other compliance trainings in the past, but this one with Vinsys was quite different. The examples were practical, the descriptions were easy to grasp, and the trainer didn't leave even the simplest concepts behind. The part that I particularly enjoyed was the one about identifying social engineering tricks, as I had never considered the possibility that such calls or messages might be cyber threats. I strongly recommend that all employees utilize this course to become more aware and responsible for their organization's cybersecurity.
