Cybersecurity video courses
Short cybersecurity video courses, each with a guide and five questions. Narrated in English and Romanian. Take 3 courses free with an account.
CyberPlay video courses are short lessons on the attacks and scams people meet every day: phishing messages, fake support calls, harmful downloads, account takeovers and money scams. A guide explains each threat, and the video stops five times to ask what you would do. The catalogue, grouped by topic, already has 45 courses.
The courses are for teenagers from 14 and adults, and need no technical knowledge: students, parents, employees and anyone who uses email, a phone or online banking.
Most courses take 6 to 8 minutes, including the five questions.
With a free CyberPlay account you can take 3 courses: Modern email phishing, Who gets your screen? and ClickFix: “Prove you’re human”. Individual Plus unlocks every course, every knowledge check and certificates of completion for €25 a year for one person, VAT included. Members of an organisation with an active plan get every course included.
How the video courses work
- Pick a guide: each one presents the courses in their own voice and style.
- Choose a course: start with a free one or browse every topic, from phishing to safe habits.
- Watch. The video stops five times for a question; you answer, and the guide explains the right choice.
- Read your report: your score, the three rules to remember and the sources, plus up to 160 XP the first time you finish.
