“Cybersecure Citizen” is the name of the training that starts on February 5th.
Reducing exposure to cyberspace risks is the main objective of this 15-hour MOOC. According to the National Cybersecurity Center, participants will be able to learn more about “the safe and responsible use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)”.
The course is centered, adds the same source, on the concept of “cyberhygiene”, that is, “the set of practices that seek to guarantee routines” to maintain “the [online] 'health' of a citizen/employee of an organization”.
The “Cybersecure Citizen” training is aimed at all citizens and is organized into three five-hour thematic modules: Home, Work and Abroad.
This is the fourth addition to the training offering of the NAU project – the Scientific Computing Unit's initiative to build and operate a technical and operational infrastructure to support the publication and promotion of content in MOOC (Massive Online Courses) format.
