Secure internet use training: The Next Person

Secure Internet Use training in a 2:20 animated story. It covers Browsing and download habits, public computers, the padlock myth. In English and Arabic, with captions you can switch on or off, and a scenario quiz at the end.

What your team will learn

  • State the habits for a public or borrowed computer: no work sign-ins, never save a password, no downloads, and delete your files, sign out and close the browser before you leave.

  • Explain what the padlock means (a private connection, not a real or honest site) and check the address before trusting a site.

  • Reach important sites by typing the address you know or using your own bookmarks, not links or pop-ups.

  • Sign out an account someone else left open without reading it, and report it to your security team if you already signed in to work on a public or borrowed computer.

The story

“The Next Person” is the story at the heart of this course. Arjun (junior developer) is the lead character; the learner watches the situation unfold, spots the warning signs, and sees the right thing to do. Set in Nakhlora Group, a fictional Gulf company.

Sample quiz question

Arjun wakes a library computer and finds a stranger's inbox still open: 'Welcome back, Sultan.' What should he do?

  • Look through it for Sultan's number and message him a warning.
  • Sign it out straight away, without reading anything.
  • Leave it open: it isn't his account to touch.
  • Move to another computer and leave this one as it is.

Correct answer: Sign it out straight away, without reading anything.

Why: Find someone else's account open? Sign it out without looking. Reading it, even to help, is still looking, and leaving it open hands it to the next person.

The Next Person [0:01] Arjun: Someone's still signed in. 'Welcome back, Sultan.' [0:05] Narrator: An open inbox lets the next person read his mail, or use it to reset his other passwords. [0:13] Arjun: Not reading a thing. 'Never' on his password, and sign him out. [0:18] Arjun: And he downloaded an 'unlocker'. Not mine, and I'm not opening it. [0:24] Narrator: Find someone else's account open? Sign it out without looking, and don't open what they left. [0:32] Tala: Sorry, quick question. This shop's got the padlock, so it's safe, right? [0:38] Arjun: I used to think so. The padlock only means the connection is private. Fake shops have one too. [0:46] Arjun: Now read the address. Is that your university's bookshop? [0:50] Tala: No, a pop-up sent me. I'll type the real one myself. [0:54] Narrator: A padlock means the connection is private, not that the site is real or honest. Check the address. [1:02] Narrator: For important sites, type the address you know, or use your own bookmarks, not links or pop-ups. [1:10] Arjun: Visa portal: I type the address myself. My personal account, not work. [1:16] Narrator: On a public or borrowed computer, don't sign in to work at all: it may record what you type. [1:24] Narrator: Already did? Report it to your security team, then change your password from your own device. [1:31] Arjun: And 'Never' again. The form's my only file, and it won't stay. [1:36] Narrator: Personal sign-in? Only if you must; never save the password, and don't download or open files you don't need. [1:45] Arjun: Printed. Form deleted, bin emptied, signed out, browser closed. [1:52] Narrator: Before you leave, delete anything you saved or printed, sign out, and close the browser. [1:59] Arjun: All yours. Good luck with the books. [2:02] Tala: Thanks. And this time, I'm typing it myself. [2:08] Narrator: On a computer that isn't yours: no work sign-ins, no downloads, and sign out before you leave.
