Welcome to CSI, agent! That’s Cybersecurity International, where you’re about to be recruited as the newest operative in the global fight against cybercrime. Your mission? Learn how to outsmart digital villains, protect your personal information, and stay one step ahead of online threats. Along the way, you’ll tackle hands-on challenges, earn Byte Cards (your secret intel tokens), and build real confidence in navigating the digital world.

Your agent training begins with cracking the code on strong passwords and uncovering the tricks used in social engineering. Then you’ll learn about data privacy and protection, learning how to guard your information like a true undercover pro. As you progress, you’ll master the art of spotting phishing and shady email tactics, and you’ll get street-smart about fake job scams designed to bait even the sharpest agents.

You’ll also learn about malicious software and backups and sharpen your online browsing habits to stay safe in every corner of the web. By the end, you’ll walk away cyber-resilient, savvy, and fully equipped to defend against threats, on and off the mission.

So, agent … are you ready to suit up, collect your intel, and help make the digital world a safer place? Let’s begin.
