One misconfigured sharing link can make internal documents publicly accessible in seconds. Technology alone stops no attack — what matters is how your people react in everyday situations.

The course shows how teams use cloud and collaboration tools safely: setting shares and permissions deliberately, storing confidential data only in approved services, controlling guest access and external links, and recognising shadow-IT risks. The content follows recognised guidance (BSI — Cloud: Risiken & Sicherheitstipps) and is tailored to typical everyday situations.

The topic ships in two formats: a full story course (approx. 20 minutes) with voiced video dialogues, decisions and a final test — or a micro series (approx. 20 minutes in total) released in short units over several weeks. Learners receive a personal certificate after passing the test; every completion is documented audit-proof. Available in up to 10 languages with native voice-over.
