Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

The global situation of the pandemic and the imposed lockdown, combined with an increase in the time spent on the internet to access online services, provided an opportunity for cybercriminals and challenged organizations to protect their businesses and ensure their service delivery. This transition made small and medium businesses struggle to secure their assets and protect employees who shifted to remote work and were using their home networks, sometimes insecure or personal devices for work purposes. Consequently, the situation led cybercriminals to increase the attack frequency and take advantage of the new working models as well as the stress and anxiety of the employees to target them. Several organizations suffered from data breaches and attacks that disrupted their businesses for weeks.

If you seek to avoid potential threats, it is important to understand there is no magical solution to cybercrime but cyber readiness which requires any organization to properly build their cyber security program with precise alignment to their business. 

This course’s focus and main objectives are to grant you the knowledge around “how to build your organization’s security strategy” or “how to raise your organization’s security maturity level”.

Technical prowess is not a key requirement to following this course but throughout the sections, you’ll get introduced to Cybersecurity fundamentals in a practical fashion. You will get familiar with your adversary and their arsenal before diving into the methods and processes you need to follow in order to get ready to face the threats lurking around your business.

By the end of this course, you will get a clear picture of the security posture in your organization, and you will be able to assess your maturity level. Based on this assessment, it will be straightforward to apply the recommendations explained in this course to build the strategy that suits best your maturity level.
