CBT

Recognizing Security Risks in Real Time

This CBT focuses on developing situational awareness to identify security risks as they happen. We designed this training to teach you how to snap out of "autopilot" mode and process threats in real-time. You must learn to spot suspicious behavior, physical anomalies, and psychological manipulation before minor issues escalate into serious corporate breaches.
