OVERVIEW:
The course introduces tools and tactics to manage cybersecurity risks, identify various types of common threats, evaluate the organisation's security, collect and analyse cybersecurity intelligence, and handle incidents as they occur. This course may earn a Credly Badge.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
This course is designed primarily for cybersecurity practitioners who perform job functions related to protecting information systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. This course focuses on the knowledge, ability, and skills necessary to provide for the defense of those information systems in a cybersecurity context, including protection, detection, analysis, investigation, and response processes. In addition, the course ensures that all members of an IT team, everyone from help desk staff to the Chief Information Office, understand their role in these security processes.
