CBT

Using QR Codes Safely

This awareness CBT educates employees on the risks associated with malicious QR codes. We created this training to address how attackers use "Quishing" (QR Code Phishing) to bypass multi-million dollar security scanners. You must learn to verify QR codes before scanning to prevent hackers from executing device shifts and credential theft.
