This e-learning module is intended to raise awareness of IT security issues and serves as basic training for all members of staff at the University of Duisburg-Essen. This online training is divided into nine units that take 5–15 minutes each. It will take a little more than one hour to finish the entire course.

The foundations of IT security will be explained. The following contents will be covered:

  • Emails and email encryption
  • Threat from computer viruses
  • Passwords and social engineering
  • Surfing the Internet
  • Confidential information – data protection
  • Social media
  • Cloud services
  • Mobile devices, wireless networks and USB flash drives
  • Conduct in the workplace

As the individual units are self-contained, you can do the course at your own pace and in the order that suits you best.

At the end of each unit, you can test your knowledge in a short quiz.

We hope you will enjoy this online training.
