Social Networking Security Awareness Course
Vigitrust, April 2011
Social networking is a necessary part of our lives today, but most of us never assume we could be putting our employers or even our own private personal information at risk to hacks and various other forms of attack. Simply sharing personal information with trusted friends and colleagues within the confines of a social network could leave you vulnerable to the attacks of unscrupulous individuals who wish to stalk, cyber-bully or commit identity theft.
“Social Networking Security Awareness” equips the learner with the knowledge and ability to assess the kind of information they make available through social networking sites and how to protect their own and their employer’s sensitive data such as email addresses, work email accounts, corporate applications, credit card details, bank account numbers etc.
Key Learning Features
- Interactive presentation on safe posting on social networking sites, direct/indirect attacks, overview of the major social networking sites and how criminals may utilize your data.
- Regular unit comprehension checks and interactive end of course testing
- All major features of social networking examined to ensure learner familiarity with the pitfalls of data exposure.
- Learner certificate upon course completion
- Learner understanding tested and reviewed throughout the course
- User friendly navigation
- Content presented in logical and continuous progression according to instructional design best practices
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the Social Networking Security Awareness course, learners will:
- Be able to distinguish between direct and indirect attacks from hackers and other unscrupulous individuals and how to avoid exposure to them
- Recognize the threats posed by seemingly inconsequential personal or confidential work information and identify the various ways in which criminals may exploit social networks

Summary
The real danger with social networking is the fact that you could be leaving yourself totally exposed and you may not even know it until it’s too late. After a hacker has acquired your password details and gain access, the damage they can cause before they are discovered is quite substantial. With the “Social Networking Security Awareness” course learners will comprehend how to avoid leaving trails that could develop into bigger problems or opportunities for undesirable individuals, thus helping to ensure every possible avenue of data security leak is blocked.
