Cybersecurity Readiness trainingScammers target your staff. Train them first.

One hands-on day that teaches non-technical staff to spot phishing, WhatsApp and deepfake scams, and the first steps to take when something goes wrong.

Before you register, have these ready

  • Identity card (IC) number of each participant
  • Company MyCOID, your Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) number
  • Person-in-charge for Human Resources Development Corporation (HRD Corp) matters: name, phone and email
  • About 5 minutes to fill in the form

Why it matters

5,110cyber incidents were recorded in Malaysia from January to September 2026.

Source: National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), reported by Bernama, 9 November 2026.

  • A fake invoice or a "new bank details" email can send company money straight to a scammer.
  • One stolen password can unlock email, cloud files and payroll.
  • Cloned voices and deepfake videos can make a fake call from the boss sound real.

Who should attend

Non-technical staff who handle email, payments and customer data every day, and the managers who lead them.

  • Human resources
  • Finance & accounts
  • Sales
  • Administration
  • Operations
  • Managers & business owners

No information technology (IT) background needed. The day is built for a mixed, non-technical group.

What your team will be able to do

Protect. Detect. Respond.

Built to change everyday behaviour, not just to teach cybersecurity terms.

  1. Protect

    Build safe everyday habits

    Apply stronger account, device and workplace data-security practices that cut the chances of infection and account takeover.

  2. Detect

    Spot the warning signs

    Recognise common scams, phishing attempts and malware entry points, and question requests that use artificial intelligence (AI) to impersonate someone.

  3. Respond

    Act fast and report it

    Take the right first steps when something looks wrong, and report suspected incidents through your company's approved process.

  1. Spot the phish

    Find the red flags in a simulated email: lookalike senders, suspicious links and urgent requests.

  2. Real message or scam?

    Judge WhatsApp, text-message, invoice and payment-verification examples, then choose the safest next step.

    Verify a convincing voice, video or "boss" payment request through a trusted channel.
