Overview
Why Enrol in Cyber Security for Business and Risk Management?
The digital era comes with inherent benefits—instant access to information, global connectivity and portable devices. However, it also comes with risks, including endless opportunities for cyber criminials to exploit individuals and enterprises. Risks that often lead to data breaches that expose sensitive information, directly impacting business operations, functionality and even public perception.
As more business processes shift online at an accelerated pace, organisations must ensure that they have up-to-date systems and strategies in place to predict, prevent and counter rapidly evolving cyber attacks.
In the online Cyber Security for Business and Risk Management programme—offered by Singapore Management University—you can master the technical and functional know-how you need to manage potential cyber threats and safeguard your enterprise’s devices and services, as well as your own.
