CYBER SECURITY FUNDAMENTALS AWARD
The Award in Cyber Security Fundamentals is designed to be an introduction to the field of cyber security. It covers a wide range of topics from 'cyberhygiene' (personal data security) to 'cyberwarfare' (cyberattacks between nations). It also covers 'cyber-resilience' in the workplace (how to protect businesses from cyberthreats). It will equip learners with basic knowledge and skills relating to cybersecurity which are essential for every citizen.
Learners will gain practical experience of protecting personal digital devices, such as a smartphone or personal computer. The role of social engineering in cyberattacks and the implications of cyberthreats for personal privacy are also explored in this Award.
Achievement of this Award is nationally recognised.

INTERNET SAFETY AWARD
The Internet Safety Award teaches the skills and knowledge required to work safely and responsibly online, in the context of activities that are routine and familiar.
Since the development of our original Internet Safety qualification in 2006, there have been significant changes in internet use, particularly the increased use of social networking and the growing incidence of cyberbullying. Embracing these trends, we have developed the revised Internet Safety Award which will directly replace the existing Award.
There is now a stronger focus on personal safety, online behaviour, social networking and the use of mobile devices. The Award also covers the legal aspects of using the internet and protecting against threats such as identity theft and viruses.
