Ransomware can paralyse an entire company within hours — and it almost always starts with one careless click. Technology alone stops no attack — what matters is how your people react in everyday situations.

The course explains how malware enters an organisation, which early warning signs point to an infection, and what to do in a suspected case: disconnect, report, never pay. The role of backups and updates is made tangible. The content follows recognised guidance (BSI — Schadprogramme & Ransomware) 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.
