Foundation Certificate in Cyber Security

lt;pgt;The objective of the course is to provide a comprehensive but necessarily high-level overview across industry standard technology and platforms, illuminating the technology and its specific cyber governance, risk, and assurance challenges, including artificial intelligence (AI) adoption, without technically challenging the learner to hands-on labs.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;On the first day the course takes the learner back to computer basics to build the individuals understanding common technology platforms through to the network layer and on via virtualisation technologies, cloud systems, telecoms and modern communications and insight into the world of protective monitoring, challenges and issues of security events logs and analysis. lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;Common methods of attack. Providing the learner with an insight into many of the most popular attack vectors today. lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;The third day will start the benefits and pitfalls of encryption. Then covering cyber law and the context in which security practitioners and organisations must operate within. Each of us has a digital footprint and the technology we use within our enterprise as an attack surface. The next module joins these two principles and explains the challenges for assurance around leaky data.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;During the remainder of day four and five we introduce the layered cyber concepts and the deeper governance required throughout the entire lifecycle covering several specialist areas essential to the rounded security practitioner.lt;/pgt;lt;pgt;Each day provides insight into the technical subject matter with the crucial security subtext. Knowledge check exercises, where delegates work in groups to discuss and provide solutions to scenarios offering an explanation with a rationale in each instance of why this is important from a security assurance perspective. Learners will also have the opportunity to take part in a real-time ransomware response scenario exercise, ideal as a capstone event to help consolidate learning.lt;/pgt;
