Stay Safe for the Holidays
Today’s globally connected society makes it easy for us to do many things online. Unfortunately, it also makes it easier for criminals to take advantage of us.
In this short video module, Alessandra, from the KnowBe4 team in Brazil, reports on the latest cyber threats to a group of KnowBe4 colleagues located worldwide via Zoom. She gets their feedback on ending a turbulent 2020 without falling victim to a cybercriminal.
Translations in major languages will be released in early December. This training module is available at all subscription levels.
The Security Awareness Company (SAC)
SAC added three new pieces of training content to the ModStore this month.
December 2020 Security Awareness Newsletter
Password management represents one of the most critical aspects of security. It’s also an area of security where people tend to take a lackadaisical approach, putting their accounts and confidential information at risk.
In this month's issue, we take a look at privileged access, strong password creation, and multi-factor authentication to help give your users a refresher on best practices for login credentials. The newsletter is available in 18 languages.
10 Ways to Avoid Phishing Scams
Phishing attacks continue to be the top threat for both organizations and individuals. This brandable training module highlights ten tips that will help you make security awareness decisions for both emails and text messages.
Learn how to identify when you’re being scammed so you can avoid being victimized by phishing scams. A short quiz is also included.
All training content from The Security Awareness Company is available at the Diamond subscription level.
Popcorn Training
One new training module and one new poster were added this month from Popcorn Training.

Session management is the second and equally important part of managing the digital identity of your users. This module contains the basics of digital identity session management and how to keep track of your users after they have been authenticated. - Cybersecurity Coloring Pack
Four different printable cybersecurity themed coloring pages make learning about security fun for the kids.
All Popcorn Training content is available at the Diamond subscription level.
exploqii
A new video module from exploqii was released in November.
Typosquatting
Making a typo when entering the URL of a website – is that a problem? It could be, if cybercriminals have been expecting it to happen and have gone live with a plausibly ‘copy’ of a website whose address is frequently misspelled.
If you want www.apple.com but type www.appel.com, you could land on a website that looks like it belongs to the smartphone manufacturer but in fact does not. It was created by criminals with dangerous consequences for those who visit the website.
This video outlines best practice tips on how to best secure these devices and protect your organization against risks. Available in English US and German.
All exploqii content is available at the Diamond subscription level.
El Pescador
El Pescador added two new pieces of training content this month.
Remote Work Series: Policies and Procedures
Remote work is now a reality for many employees and it is important to remember how to ensure the security of your organization's data, and also all information from your employees, suppliers, and customers.
It is crucial that organization security and policy procedures are followed not only at the office but also while working remotely. This video module reinforces the importance of your organization's security policies and procedures to your users. Available in English US, Portuguese BR, and Spanish LA.
Security Beyond the Office with Quiz
An employee represents the organization even when they are not in the office. That's why the bad guys create scams to steal your information even when you are not in your organization's physical space.
In this brandable training module, we analyze different spaces where information may leak outside the organization. You will learn which habits are considered secure when you are not in the office, concluding with a quiz. Available in English US and Portuguese BR.
All El Pescador content is available at the Diamond subscription level.
