Course Summary
The job role of a cybersecurity professional is crucial in safeguarding an organisation's digital assets, infrastructure, and sensitive information from cyber threats. These professionals are tasked with identifying vulnerabilities, implementing protective measures, and responding to security incidents to mitigate risks effectively.
With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks, the role of cybersecurity professionals has become indispensable for the future viability and success of organisations.
They play a pivotal role in maintaining trust with customers, protecting intellectual property, ensuring regulatory compliance, and preserving the organisation's reputation.
As technology continues to advance and cyber threats evolve, the demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals will only grow, making their role essential for securing the future of any organisation in an increasingly digital world.
During this course, you’ll learn:
- To understand security fundamentals, risk assessments, controlling access, securing software development, and related concepts.
- To adequately prepare for the CISSP certification assessment, empowering participants with the understanding and assurance needed to excel in their certification pursuit.
- To be proficient in crafting robust security frameworks, handling security incidents, and recovering from breaches while adhering to legal and regulatory standards.
- To develop expertise in managing identity and access, ensuring secure verification, authorization, and managing identities throughout their lifecycle.
- To acquire competencies in security operations, encompassing monitoring, responding to incidents, and ensuring compliance, alongside understanding secure methodologies for software development to build resilient applications.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for reducing security risks within their organisation. It would be most beneficial for:
- IT Specialists
- IT Managers
- Risk Managers
- Security Awareness Managers
- Business Owners
- Department Managers
- Operations Managers
- Systems Managers
- Developers
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will watch videos to highlight the importance of cybersecurity process implementation and understand through real-world case studies what could happen should cybersecurity not be taken seriously.
They will then undertake group activities and discussions to understand how robust their cybersecurity is within their organisation and put in plans to make changes to increase the security of their systems and data.
