About this course.
Most successful attacks do not start with sophisticated hacking. They start with a convincing email, a reused password or a laptop that missed its updates. This programme teaches the everyday habits that close those doors, in plain language and without jargon.
Who it is for
Every member of a team: operations, sales, finance, HR, academics and managers. No technical background is needed.
How it works
Lessons unlock in order. Each one is short and practical, with a quiz after the second module and a final project: a one-page security checklist written for your own team.
What you will be able to do
Spot phishing and social engineering, protect your accounts with strong passwords and multi-factor authentication, keep devices safe, handle personal data responsibly and report an incident quickly and correctly.

Questions about enrolling.
How long can I access this course?
You can access the course for 365 days from the day you enrol.
Is my payment secure?
Yes. Your card, UPI or bank details go straight to Razorpay. Walnut Data Tech never sees or stores them.
When do I get access?
Immediately after the payment is confirmed. You'll also get a receipt by email.
What if the payment fails but money is deducted?
This is usually a delay at the bank. If the payment is confirmed, you're enrolled automatically. If not, the bank reverses the amount, normally within 5–7 working days. Contact support with your receipt number if you need help.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, if you ask within 7 days of purchase and have completed less than 20% of the course. Raise a ticket from the help desk with your receipt number.
