Cybersecurity for Remote & Hybrid Workers Training
A one-day awareness workshop for staff whose work moves between locations. Participants make practical choices about devices, connections, private conversations and shared files, using their employer's approved tools and reporting arrangements.
Who should attend: Remote and hybrid employees, travelling staff, supervisors and support teams. No prior cybersecurity qualification is required.
HRD Corp claim support available
Programme Focus
The focus is the employee's working environment and handling decisions. General cybersecurity awareness covers the wider threat picture, while Microsoft 365 awareness focuses on that collaboration platform.
Programme Agenda
9:00 AM to 10:00 AM
Map Your Working Environment
Identify where work happens, which devices are permitted and what information travels with the employee. Review who can see or overhear work and which situations require a different location or channel.
10:00 AM to 10:15 AM
Break
10:15 AM to 11:30 AM
Accounts and Approved Devices
Follow approved sign-in protection, screen-lock and update arrangements. Separate work material from personal sharing and identify how to request help when a device cannot meet the organisation's requirements.
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM
Networks and Remote Access
Discuss approved remote-access tools and the limits of trusting a network because of its name. Practise checking the expected service and reporting unusual access requests rather than installing an unapproved workaround.
12:30 PM to 1:30 PM
Lunch
1:30 PM to 2:45 PM
Meetings, Files and Physical Privacy
Review guest meetings, screen sharing, printed documents and shared household equipment. Choose appropriate permissions and protect conversations and displays in public or shared spaces.
2:45 PM to 3:00 PM
Break
3:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Lost Devices and Suspicious Activity
Prepare the reporting details needed if a device is lost or an account behaves unexpectedly. Identify approved alternate contacts when the normal messaging account is unavailable.
4:00 PM to 5:00 PM
Practical Exercise: Work From a Temporary Location
Plan a fictional day involving a hotel, a client meeting and an urgent document request. Identify unsafe shortcuts and produce a location, access and reporting checklist.
