Cybersecurity awareness is now an essential skill for IT support professionals. Support teams frequently encounter early indicators of security incidents, user reports of suspicious activity, or unusual system behaviour. Understanding how to respond responsibly and safely is critical to protecting organisational systems and users.
Through mentor-led sessions and practical scenarios, learners explore the foundations of cybersecurity from an IT support perspective. The programme introduces core concepts such as threat awareness, authentication security, safe system handling, and recognising potential security risks within everyday support tasks.
Participants also learn how support teams interact with security operations teams, how incidents are escalated, and how support professionals can contribute to maintaining a secure environment. By the end of the course, learners will have the foundational knowledge needed to begin progressing into cybersecurity-focused career pathways.
