The most dangerous attachment looks like an invoice, a job application or a delivery note. Technology alone stops no attack — what matters is how your people react in everyday situations.

The course trains the critical look before opening: recognising dangerous file types and macros, checking senders and links, and handling unexpected attachments confidently — small routines that prevent large damage. The content follows recognised guidance (BSI — E-Mail-Sicherheit) and is tailored to typical everyday situations.

The topic ships in two formats: a full story course (approx. 15 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.
