Understand cyber risk. Recognise threats. Make safer decisions.
Cyber security is no longer only the responsibility of IT teams. Every person who uses a device, handles information, accesses online services or communicates digitally plays a part in keeping an organisation secure.
This short professional course gives learners a practical understanding of how cyber incidents happen and what they can do to reduce risk. Rather than turning employees into cyber-security specialists, it develops the awareness, judgement and everyday behaviours needed to work securely in a digital organisation.
The course draws on guidance from the UK National Cyber Security Centre and is aligned with the principles that underpin Cyber Essentials.
Cyber attacks often succeed through a combination of technology, organisational weaknesses and human behaviour. Knowing what a phishing email looks like is useful, but effective cyber security requires a broader understanding of how threats develop, where vulnerabilities arise and how everyday decisions can either increase or reduce risk.
Across two focused chapters, learners explore the cyber threat landscape before moving into practical ways of working securely.
By the end of the course, learners should be able to recognise common cyber threats, understand how their own behaviour affects organisational security, apply safer working practices and know what action to take when they encounter a potential cyber incident.
Through the following chapters you will master the Cyber Security Awareness
Upon completion, you will receive a recognised certificate from LSI (verifiable via QR code), along with a link to add it directly to LinkedIn and upgrade your professional presence.
Traditional higher education hasn't kept pace with how fast the world is changing. LSI is different: built around technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, and designed to help you thrive in a future shaped by AI.
As a UK higher education institution dedicated to digital tech, innovation and entrepreneurship, LSI optimises your path to mastery and confidence.
We don't try to be everything to everyone. Our curriculum, our teaching, our faculty and our culture are all built around a single aim: helping you become a capable, well-rounded leader in an AI-augmented world.
Instead of one-way lectures, LSI gives students regular one-to-one academic contact, because the hardest parts of learning often need conversation, challenge, reassurance, and judgement.
Studying at postgraduate level is intellectual, but it is also personal. Motivation, confidence, uncertainty, and ambition all matter.
You'll study alongside ambitious, curious people. Those relationships rarely end at graduation.
Your peers and the wider LSI alumni network become collaborators, sounding boards, and the contacts who open doors long after you've finished.
LSI’s award-winning AI platform acts as a 24/7 learning companion, helping you work through material, test your understanding, receive formative feedback, and identify gaps earlier.
The system provides multimedia explanations, interactive tasks, formative checks, and feedback on your work, while academic staff remain responsible for judgement, standards, and support.
LSI's award-winning proprietary technology uses AI to personalise study, give faster formative feedback, and support practice, while human academics focus on discussion, judgement, mentoring, and academic standards.
This isn’t a chatbot. It’s a tutor that guides you through hands-on learning, at your pace. Read, watch or listen anytime, on your phone during a commute or workout, or on your laptop at 2am before a deadline.
Through text, audio, visual feedback, formative questions, and assignment critique, the tutor helps you keep moving between scheduled sessions with academic staff.
Every lesson adjusts to your pace and what you already know, so you're never stuck on the obvious or lost in the difficult.
Most subjects don't run in a straight line. Our Interactive Knowledge Graph maps how concepts connect and build on each other, then tracks what you've mastered and what still needs work, so nothing important slips through the cracks.
Get useful feedback the moment you submit, instead of waiting days to find out where you went wrong, then act on it while the work is still fresh in your mind.
This doesn't replace your tutors or academic judgement. Detailed feedback from faculty can be requested right after AI feedback. What it adds is momentum: you keep moving forward instead of stalling between submission and review.
Rehearse the high-stakes moments before they're real. In AI-driven role-play, you make decisions in lifelike professional scenarios and see how they play out, so you build confidence where it's safe to get things wrong.
Judgement comes from practice, not theory alone. You might lead a tense project review, work through an ethical AI dilemma, negotiate a technical trade-off, or troubleshoot a system failure against the clock, each scenario repeatable and tied to what you're learning.
