Online cybersecurity courses, adapted to your job
Cybersecurity at work means protecting the data and digital tools your job depends on from theft, fraud and lock-out. For a working professional it comes down to four reflexes: check the sender before you click, use a unique password for each service, switch on two-factor authentication, and keep an offline backup. Those four habits cover the majority of incidents actually recorded.
Spot and defeat the attacks aimed at your workstation, using cases from your own trade.

Frequently asked questions
What can I read without a subscription?
The first four slides of every course are available without an account and without a subscription, as are every guide and every standalone quiz. From the fifth slide onwards, the €29.99/month incl. VAT subscription is required. Creating a free account unlocks no extra slide: it keeps your progress, your job and your results.
How is my level measured?
By three level quizzes: Beginner (10 questions, 70 % to pass), Intermediate (12 questions, 75 %) and Expert (15 questions, 80 %). The level shown is the highest level passed, with the best score obtained and its date.
How long does a cybersecurity course take?
Between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the course, quiz time included. This duration is computed from the real content: word count, interactive slides and quizzes, rather than declared by hand, which stops it drifting at the first rewrite.
What Skillrung is not
- Skillrung is not a French training body certified under the Qualiopi scheme.
- As things stand, our content is not eligible for the French CPF, OPCO, DPC or FAF funding schemes.
- A Skillrung certificate of completion is not a diploma, not a professional title and not a qualification registered in any national register. It records a result obtained in an unsupervised online assessment, on a given date.
- Taking a Skillrung course does not make your organisation compliant and does not replace the obligations that fall on your employer or on you.
