Cyber Security for Business and Risk Management Programme

Explore the objectives of cyber security, the importance of developing a security mindset, common/best practices and principles, and robust security strategies.

Discuss the future and impact of cryptographic systems, elements of secure encryption, factors that ensure data integrity, the need for authenticated encryption systems, and how to identify robust encryption systems in cryptography.

Gain a deeper understanding of the underlying technologies in blockchain, current uses and the future of blockchain tech, the security implications of blockchain as a technology, and the strengths and weaknesses of open and closed distributed ledgers in blockchain.

Examine the drawbacks of existing data security solutions, the impact of crypto techniques on security and performance, key elements of encrypted data, and how to identify technologies that provide strong privacy protection in zero trust environments.

Explore common networking protocols and their corresponding threats, common network security defense technologies, strategies to deal with Denial-of-Service attacks, and the ways to use Wi-Fi safely.

Build your knowledge of the cyber-attack life cycle, common software vulnerabilities leading to cyber attacks, the different phases of risk management, good hygiene practices in software security, and how to identify different elements of threat identification and prioritisation.

Learn the salient aspects of cyber culture as it exists today and the importance of developing a cyber security culture, the elements of the People Process and Technology framework for a strong cyber culture foundation, and ways to provide a framework for building a cyber mindset.

Dive into the overall threat landscape of emerging technologies, the trade-offs between security and emerging technologies, potential solutions for a sustainable cyber security ecosystem, and how to assess the inadequacies of current cyber security measures against emerging technologies.
