For IT leaders

What IT leaders need to know before assigning this course

End-user mistakes can turn routine work—email, Wi-Fi use, mobile apps, and online accounts—into security risk. Security for End Users gives IT Directors and Training Managers a short, beginner-friendly assignment for broad employee populations, not just technical teams. At 1h 49m, the time investment is realistic for onboarding, annual refreshers, or a targeted awareness push after policy changes.

This course is a strong fit when IT teams need consistent baseline habits around password safety, phishing defense, protecting data and devices, and safer work practices in office or remote environments. It can help Team Leads reinforce security expectations without pulling IT Practitioners into repeated one-off coaching. CBT Nuggets team features such as Playlists and Team Reporting can support assignment planning and completion visibility for managers tracking organization-wide security training.

  • Stronger account protection: Teams build better password safety habits for online accounts and workplace tools.
  • Safer remote and office work: Learners connect security decisions to Wi-Fi use, mobile apps, and device handling across common work environments.
