This course was developed in response to the 2017 WannaCry ransomware attack, which spread rapidly across networks and affected 200,000 organisations in 150 countries, including the NHS. Ransomware attacks use malware to block access to an individual’s or an organisation’s files until a ransom is paid, and is often introduced to a computer system through a phishing campaign.
In order to protect your business, staff must be vigilant in spotting and reporting potential phishing and ransomware attacks. This ten-minute course delivers consistent, comprehensive training to employees, enabling them to act quickly.
The test at the end checks their knowledge, and staff can retake it until they pass to ensure they understand the risks of phishing and ransomware. Should you be audited relating to information security, the information required is all easily accessible within the LMS (learning management system) and will evidence your organisation’s commitment to data security.

The course teaches staff the basics of how to avoid falling victim to phishing attacks and ransomware. It describes the link between phishing attacks and ransomware, and what staff need to be aware of to help prevent attacks.
By helping your staff understand what phishing attacks and ransomware are, and how to prevent them, you can significantly reduce the risk of your organisation falling victim to an attack.
No matter how many technological defences are in place, no email filtering method is 100% successful, so it’s often left to the recipient to decide whether or not to open a phishing email or click a malicious link. It is here that phishing awareness training can make the vital difference.
This course will help employees understand the link between phishing and ransomware and how they work together. It also provides them with the knowledge so that they can respond accordingly and act appropriately should they suffer an attack in the future.
This course has been developed to raise awareness among employees, particularly those in the most critical service sectors, such as healthcare, education, retail and finance, so that they can start thinking proactively about how to protect themselves from phishing attacks and ransomware.
The course will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The course assessment will include 8 randomly selected multiple-choice questions.
The course can be retaken as many times as needed until the pass mark has been achieved.
