Course Description
There are risks and incidents related to information security and cyber security, which can affect financial institutions such as banks, insurance companies, brokerage houses, and other entities. Criminals, such as hackers, are constantly working on circumventing the cybersecurity controls of organizations in order to gain access to systems, people, and information for their benefit.
In order to prevent the occurrence of cyberattacks and the disclosure of confidential information without the owner’s permission, organizations develop and implement information security and risk management frameworks.
This certificate program is a foundational training with four modules that cover the concepts of data, information, and risks. It also covers cybersecurity, information security, cybersecurity governance, and information security risk management process.
