SensCyber: A fun tool to face cyber threats
March 25, 2024: The government tool SensCyber is now accessible to the general public. This free resource aims to provide basic training on digital threats and risks present on the Internet. This e-awareness tool aims to prevent dangers that everyone might encounter on their smartphone or computer, both in private and professional settings.
The platform brings together all the best practices to integrate into daily digital life in terms of security: passwords, updates, backups, data protection.
Previously dedicated to businesses and administrations, the SensCyber tool now extends its target to the general public, as well as to employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
SensCyber relies on multimedia sequences accompanied by quizzes and recommendations divided into 3 modules: “Understand”, “Act” and “Transmit”:
- Understand the main issues related to cyberattacks and the risks they pose to individuals.
- Act to integrate and adopt best practices in cybersecurity into our daily usage (mobile phones, social networks, digital privacy...).
- Transmit values of great importance, both in private and professional settings.
These modules consist of several chapters covering various topics: phishing, online hacking, ransomware, digital scams...
Learning is relatively intuitive and engaging: information is presented in an illustrated, simplified, and animated manner, varying formats: infographics, interviews, quizzes for reinforcing learning...
It is possible to take the certification at any time: the process takes about three hours. Another option: one can take the modules one by one, stop, and resume the tests at their convenience while tracking their progress along the way.
At the end of the training, the user receives a completion certificate to download, certifying their participation, if their score is at least 60%.
