A USB stick "lost" in the car park is one of the oldest and still most successful attack tricks. Technology alone stops no attack — what matters is how your people react in everyday situations.

The course explains the risks of unknown media (USB drops), encrypting and securely disposing of your own media, and company rules for removable storage — compact and practical. The content follows recognised guidance (BSI — Wechseldatenträger verschlüsseln) 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.
