Hello everyone,

i was tasked at work to create a powerpoint type of thing to educate people at work about cyber security. This would include people from accounting, janitors, hr, administrative people, professors, assitents … People with all degrees of education and knowledge. The task fell to me because i am currently going through the Google cybersecurity professional certification in my free time, and that made me the most qualified to do this. Sad, i know.

So since I need to cover basic stuff for people who barely know how to find the space key on the keyboard and for professors that teach software development, i was wondering about topics and how in depth is ok to go. It needs to be general purpose so ALL employees understand it, but also good enough to be of at least some help to everyone.

Ideas are very welcome and appreciated! What to cover, what not (due to complexity or whatever other reason). The point would be to teach people about phishing, trojans, viruses, malware, don’t click on links in emails from shady sources, clean your browser cookies, don’t use the same password for everything, those sort of things…
