Cyber First Aid: Your Team’s Essential Guide to Handling Digital Emergencies

Ever wished you had a first aid kit for cyber attacks? That’s exactly what our new Cyber First Aid training provides. In partnership with Cyber Innovations Ltd from Bournemouth University, we are bringing this practical 4-hour program to help your team handle digital emergencies with confidence.

What is Cyber First Aid?

Think of it as a first aid course for your digital workspace. Just like you would want someone on your team to know what to do if someone falls or gets hurt, Cyber First Aid is about the initial responses when your organization faces a cyber threat. Cyber First Aid is interdisciplinary at its core, combining basic technical training with psychological resilience practices. Attackers count on the emotional deregulation of their victims to coerce even experienced defenders into making poor choices during a crisis. Cyber First Aid tackles the challenges that arise from both human behavior and technical expertise.

No complex technical jargon – just practical, useful skills you can use right away.

Meet Your Experts

You will learn from the best in the field. Professor Vassilis Katos, a leading cybersecurity expert and Lead of BU-CERT, Bournemouth University’s Computer Emergency Response Team, together with Dimitris Dimitriadis, our Futurist and CIO at TheFutureCats, will guide you through real-world scenarios and good response practices.

What Will You Learn?

Here’s what makes this training special:

  • Ways to stay calm when facing digital threats (aka mindfulness during cyber crisis)
  • Quick response plans that anyone can follow
  • Understanding and applying triage by non-IT experts
  • Learn how to leverage your psychological and IT technical strengths in a combined manner.
  • Real examples from cybersecurity experts

Who Should Join?

Whether you’re:

  • A manager looking to better protect your team
  • An employee wanting to understand cyber threats
  • Working remotely and handling sensitive data
  • Part of an IT team seeking to bridge the gap with non-technical staff

This training is designed for you – no technical background needed.

Why It Matters Now

Cyber attacks are becoming more common and cleverer by the day. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to be a tech genius to help protect your organization. Just like knowing basic first aid can save lives, knowing cyber first aid can save your organization from serious harm.
