Course Overview

The global situation of the pandemic and the imposed lockdown, combined with increased time spent on the internet to access online services, provided an opportunity for cybercriminals and challenged organizations to protect their businesses and ensure service delivery. This transition made small and medium-sized 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 frequency of attacks and take advantage of new working models, as well as the stress and anxiety of 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 that there is no magical solution to cybercrime, but cyber readiness requires every organization to properly build its cybersecurity program with precise alignment to its business.

This course focuses on granting you knowledge of how to build your organization’s security strategy and how to raise your organization’s security maturity level. Technical prowess is not a key requirement for following this course, but throughout the sections, you’ll be introduced to cybersecurity fundamentals in a practical fashion. You will become familiar with your adversary and their arsenal before diving into the methods and processes you need to follow to get ready to face the threats lurking around your business.

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