Who is this cert for?

Everyone who uses a computer, a phone, and AI tools at work or at home. It is not a security-engineer credential; it is a general-user one.

Is this for parents, teachers, or older adults?

Yes. The household, family, and AI-on-children sections are designed for anyone who needs to protect non-technical people in their orbit from AI-flavored scams.

Will it help me at work?

Yes. The MFA, data-handling, and AI-tool-use sections speak to everyday workplace decisions that get every team member in trouble, not just the security team.

Do I need any background to take it?

No. Every question is plainly worded and scenario-based. If you have used the internet for a year, you have enough context.

Pay $2 to retry once after the 2-hour gate. The retry pulls fresh questions from the bank.

How long is the cert valid?

One year from issue. The scam landscape evolves; renewal pulls from the refreshed bank.

Who this cert is for

Early career

If you're new to the workforce

On day one you will be handed an email account, an MFA token, a stack of SaaS logins, and a Slack workspace. Within a week someone will try a phishing or social-engineering attack on you, dressed up with AI-generated context. This cert is the structured way to walk in already knowing what to pause on, what to verify, and what to report.

Mid-career

If you've been working with computers for years

AI did not invent phishing, but it scaled it past every previous threshold. Voice-cloned 'your CEO' calls are now real. Deepfake video of public figures is shareable. AI-generated 'help' articles are designed to mislead. This cert is proof you can read the new threat surface, protect your accounts and your customers' data, and avoid the embarrassing scams that now hit even experienced users.

What you’ll prove

Spot AI-generated phishing, voice-cloning, and deepfake scams before acting on them.
Use AI tools at work without pasting confidential data, customer data, or secrets into systems that may retain or train on them.
Set up MFA, passwords, and device security at the level a modern threat surface actually requires.
Triage AI-generated misinformation before sharing or trusting it.
Protect children, family, and household members from the AI-flavored scams that target every age group differently.

Sample questions

Real questions from the bank, in the same shape you’ll see in the exam. Correct answers are not shown.

Q01Phishing basics
An email from 'your CEO' asks you to buy gift cards urgently. Right first action:
- Buy the gift cards quickly.
- Pause and verify via a known channel (in-person, known number, internal chat) before doing anything. Urgency plus an unusual request is the classic social-engineering signal.
- Reply to the email to confirm.
- Forward the email to the whole team.
Q02AI and personal data
You are tempted to paste a confidential work document into a public AI chatbot for help. Right thinking:
- Paste it; the model probably will not remember.
- Do not paste it. Public chatbots may retain or train on your input; the company likely has a sanctioned alternative; check with IT before using personal AI for work data.
- Paste only the document title.
- Use a different account to be safe.
Q03AI misinformation
A convincing AI-generated video shows a public figure saying something extreme. Best behavior:
- Share immediately so people see it.
- Pause and verify via trusted news sources before sharing. Synthetic media designed to be shareable is a known disinformation tactic.
- Trust the video at face value.
- Share only with close friends.

Honest tradeoffs

· Not a CompTIA Security+ or any other formal security certification.
· Not an enterprise security cert. This is the everyday-user version.
· Not a substitute for your employer's required security training.

It is proof you are the colleague, the friend, and the family member who does not fall for the new generation of AI-flavored scams, and who knows how to use AI tools without giving away what should not be given.

What this changes for you

BEFORE

Your team is rolling out AI assistants to non-engineers and you have to draft the acceptable use policy. You can name some of the risks; you cannot quite explain to the legal team why an AI summary of a customer email is different from a forwarded email.

AFTER

You can name the data leakage paths, the prompt-injection attack surface, the egress controls, and the tooling that catches it. Become the security generalist the team copies on every new AI rollout, with paper to back it.
