About this free cybersecurity awareness training

This is a free 40-minute cybersecurity awareness course for small businesses, accounting firms, and bookkeeping practices, presented by WOWzer Technologies (2026 edition). It covers the threats that actually reach small firms — AI-generated phishing, deepfake fraud, ransomware, mishandled client data — in plain English, with a knowledge check after each module and a final assessment. Pass it and you get a printable certificate of completion for your records, your insurer, or your clients.

There is no account to create and nothing to install. Your name is used only to print your certificate, and your progress is saved in your own browser.

Training covers the human layer. For the machine layer — the AI tools that touch your books and clients every day — WOW Sentinel runs a daily security check as part of the WOW AI Suite, with Sentinel on its own from $49 USD/month and suite plans from $99 USD/month. You can also rate your firm’s AI exposure in twelve minutes with the free AI Trust Scorecard.
