Handbook

As corporate information systems and networks grow more complex, companies are now exposed to more and increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. Cybersecurity has become an essential component of every business by protecting its critical IT assets from unauthorised access. While it is not possible to eliminate cyber threats, companies must focus on managing their cybersecurity risk to achieve digital resilience. On the other hand, companies are increasingly required to meet cybersecurity standards and frameworks, and embed compliant practices into their risk management plans. Poor management of cybersecurity can create business risks that have implications for the business’s ability to continue its day-to-day operations, meet its obligations, its reputation and its strategic plans.

In this course, you will investigates cybersecurity and technology risks in a systematic manner and look at the current theory, methods, standards and best practices for their identification, assessment, analysis and mitigation.
