We rely on the Internet for daily business operations and government service delivery. However, today’s threat environment is very different from how it was when many key Internet protocols were designed, resulting in inherent vulnerabilities that require mitigation. This course is designed to provide participants with awareness of the security issues with a range of Internet oriented technologies and protocols and practical guidance for how participants can secure them.

For many organisations, it is not a matter of ‘if’ a cybersecurity incident happens, it is a matter of ‘when’. This course is designed to provide organisations with important information and knowledge to execute one of the critical elements of incident response; preparation.    

This course is designed to provide participants the confidence to perform a risk assessment of cyber security risks, the ability to rate, assess and report business risks rather than technical vulnerabilities.

Risk professionals have a thorough understanding of risk management processes but may not have a comprehensive awareness of cyber security issues. This course is designed to empower risk practitioners to effectively and confidently engage with cyber security professionals and to integrate cyber security risks into enterprise risk management processes.

The modern cyber world can be dangerous. For many people, business communications and processes are performed via digital mediums (internet, email, applications), which means staff and their employers are exposed to associated threats. The Cyber Security Fundamentals course was created to arm people with fundamental, practical knowledge, enabling them to be safer online and to be ‘cyber savvy’. This 3 hour course is delivered in an engaging and informative manner using a variety of learning tools including an online quiz, videos, and small and large group discussions.

Cyber security has become an essential skill for both our personal and professional lives, as many aspects of our daily activities now take place online. Organisational cyber resilience is an entity’s ability to continue to achieve objectives by adapting and evolving in response to volatility, turbulence and shocks. Shocks can be cyber attacks, malicious acts or significant changes in conditions. This course is suitable for senior executives from any background and no technical knowledge is required.
