Cybersecurity Awareness

This interactive lab empowers students to navigate real-world cybersecurity challenges while emphasizing the importance of ethical decision-making in the workplace. Through engaging scenarios, students will follow Sam, a junior marketing associate, as they encounter two critical situations:

1. The Password Dilemma: Sam shares a password with a colleague to meet a tight deadline, leading to unintended consequences and a breach of company policy.
2. The Phishing Email: Later, Sam faces a phishing attempt but applies lessons learned to recognize the threat and prevent a data breach.

Students will:

• Identify red flags in phishing emails and understand social engineering tactics.
• Explore the consequences of poor cybersecurity practices, such as password sharing.
• Reflect on the ethical implications of workplace decisions.
• Complete auto-gradable worksheets and writing prompts to reinforce learning.

This lab includes real-world statistics, a detailed glossary, and practical tips to build awareness, critical thinking, and proactive behaviors. Perfect for fostering a culture of cybersecurity vigilance and responsibility in any workplace ethics curriculum.
