Synopsis:
As our daily lives become more and more dependent on Internet-based tools and services, and as those platforms accumulate more of our most sensitive data, the demand grows for advices and protection in the field of cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity affects everyone, including in the delivery of basic products and services.
- Cyber risk management has become a fundamental component of business operations, and understanding and mitigating risk has become an essential skill for business leaders and every member of an organization’s staff.

The objective of the training session is to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of how to identify and manage operational, litigation, and reputational risk. Students will learn how to assess and mitigate web security vulnerabilities within an organization’s networks, systems, and data, and explore strategies for responding to a cyberattack.
