Cyber Security for Managers & Team Leaders
Managers are the accountable layer: they approve spend, access and exceptions, and they are usually the first person told when something looks wrong. In 45 minutes and four assessed units, managers and team leaders learn why security is now a management responsibility, how attackers target approval authority, what to do in the first minutes of an incident, and how to lead a security-first team.
- Easy-to-follow course
- 4 quizzes at 80% in every course
- Narration and captions on every screen
- Written and fact-checked in 2026

What your team will learn
Upon course completion, employees will gain a full and clear understanding of:
- Why security is now a management responsibility, not only an IT one
- How attackers specifically target approval authority and manager impersonation
- How to make sound decisions on spend, access and vendor or contractor requests, even under pressure
- What to do differently when a team member reports a problem
- How to set clear, everyday security expectations for a team
- How to build and lead a genuinely security-first team, including the harder conversations
Who it is for
Written for managers and leaders. No technical background is needed, and nothing in it assumes a previous course.
This course from Blocknorth is built specifically for managers and team leaders: the people accountable for their team's security behaviour, who approve spend, access and exceptions, and who are usually the first person told when something looks wrong. No technical background is needed: you will learn why security is now a management responsibility, how attackers specifically target approval authority, what to do differently when your team reports a problem, and how to build a security-first team day to day.
Course contents
4 units. Each ends with a 10-question quiz; 8 correct unlocks the next unit.
