Innovuze Solutions, Inc. (ISI) conducted a Cybersecurity Awareness Training for End Users last July 30, 2018 at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP) Cagayan de Oro City campus. Participants included employees from different banks, private sectors, government agencies, freelancers, as well as some students and instructors from USTP and other universities all over Northern Mindanao. The registration was limited to 50 individuals to properly accommodate the training participants and to comfortably fit them in the lunch venue. Overwhelmingly, all 50 slots were sold out.


The whole-day event started with the introduction of Mr. Romar Mayer Micabalo, Lead DevOps System Administrator of ISI, and Mr. Aryan Lowell Limjap, DevOps System Administrator of ISI, as speakers of the Training. Mr. Micabalo started with introductions to Cybersecurity basics with Mr. Limjap taking over in the middle of the morning training, talking about Social Engineering.

During the afternoon session of the training, Mr. Micabalo started by discussing about basic computer security. Mr. Limjap then talked about handling passwords and the use of Password Managers and Two-Factor Authentication of emails and social media accounts. Lastly, Mr. Micabalo talked about Email Encryption and gave a workshop on using PGP, which can be used for encrypting or securing emails. He also talked mobile safety and chat safety.

Many of the participants asked questions and clarifications throughout the whole training. Some of the common questions that were asked were clarifications on the applications and usage of the programs, specifically if it is usable on a certain situation. Other questions were asked concerning Social Engineering, and on how to be able to control and reduce the risks of it.

After the training, Assessment were passed around. The assessment form contained questions related to the training and what the participants learned during the training.
