Course Overview

Cyber-attacks are amongst the main security issues facing organizations in the information age. Today, all organizations operate with a potential information security risk and will need to implement strategies to protect their IT systems and data. Although society has become increasingly reliant on information technology and internet-based services, cybersecurity skills and capability are not currently increasing at a comparable rate. As the sector is growing, so will the demand for cybersecurity professionals who have achieved the requisite standards and certification. This course will provide you with a fundamental understanding of how to protect those organizations, networks, IT systems, and individuals against cyber-attacks and cyber threats. This course has been designed to incorporate guidance from the Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG), a group within the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), as well as the Institute of Information Security Professionals (IISP) Information Security Skills framework. The course reflects current issues and industry requirements, assisting the drive towards improved cybersecurity provision at a national level. This program is for those seeking to improve their technical understanding of cybersecurity, IT services, and risk management, and how this relates to the wider business and customer-facing needs. During the course, you will develop specialist skills in cybersecurity, risk, and information management, underpinned with software and networked systems. You will also learn to use a wide range of cybersecurity-related tools and techniques, alongside technical skills in computer programming, software engineering, cloud, and database development.
