Discover why cybersecurity is important, and how to build organisational cyber resilience in these four cybersecurity courses.

Discover how to build cyber resilience in your organisation

Cybersecurity is one of the key challenges faced by organisations in the digital age. The estimated global cost of cyberattacks is predicted to rise as high as $10.5 trillion by 2025.

Cyber resilience — the capacity to anticipate, respond, and recover from cyberattacks — is essential for modern organisations.

This ExpertTrack will familiarize you with cybersecurity essentials to help protect your organisation.

You’ll learn why cybersecurity is important, studying real-life examples of malware attacks. You’ll also explore key defences, such as ransomware protection and how to guard against social engineering attacks. This will be strengthened by best practices, such as password policy and mobile data security policy.

The last half of this ExpertTrack focuses on identity and access management. This will help you control access to sensitive information, to support data security and cyber resilience.

Explore why cybersecurity is important

This ExpertTrack is made up of four cybersecurity courses, each of which will help you build organisational cyber resilience.

The first is an introduction to why cybersecurity is so important. You’ll discover common cyber attacks, such as phishing, social engineering attacks, and ransomware, and how to protect against them. You’ll learn the organisational importance of mobile data security policy and password policy, and explore how to prepare for the worst with disaster management.

The second course focuses on malware protection. You’ll understand different examples of malware attacks, such as trojan horses, spyware, and ransomware, and use this knowledge to build a malware protection strategy that is alive to the evolving threat posed by malware.

Protect sensitive information with identity and access management

The last two courses focus on identity and access management. This ensures sensitive information is only available to certain people, at certain times, to strengthen data security. You’ll cover key areas, such as single sign-on, authentication, and cloud identity management.

Everything you learn in this ExpertTrack is founded on real-life, practical examples. You’ll be able to apply what you learn straight away, to address the very real threat of cyber attacks. These cybersecurity courses have been designed by EC Council, the world’s largest cybersecurity technical certification body.
