Course description
This course provides an in-depth exploration into the contemporary cyber threat landscape, strategic responses to evolving threats, and the lifecycle of cyber risk management.
Starting with an understanding of how cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities through a burglary analogy, this course covers social engineering, the cyber ‘kill chain’, and the impact of technology evolution like the Internet of Things and AI on cyber security.
Participants will engage in a practical online demonstration of hostile intelligence gathering and analyze real-world case studies to understand supply chain risks and the forms of cyber harm. A strategic briefing, leveraging insights from the UK National Cybercrime Security Centre, offers a global perspective on cyber threats, including cyber warfare and strategic international responses.
The course concludes with a comprehensive overview of cyber risk management, covering best practices, standards, frameworks, and effective strategies for embedding cybersecurity behaviors within organizations.
Designed for individuals seeking to enhance their cybersecurity knowledge and skills, this course is essential for navigating the complexities of protecting digital assets in an increasingly interconnected world.
