Cyber Security
Explore the world of cyber security and develop the skills needed to stay safe
Modern life depends on online services, so having a better understanding of cyber security threats is vital. Cyber security is the application of technologies, processes and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices and data from cyber attacks. It aims to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and protect against the unauthorised exploitation of systems, networks and technologies.
A robust cyber security culture, reinforced by regular training, will ensure that every employee recognises that cyber security is their responsibility and defaults to security instinctively.
Cyber security is a critical business issue for every organisation.
A cyber security risk assessment is the process of identifying, analysing and evaluating risk. It helps to ensure that the cyber security controls you choose are appropriate to the risks your organisation faces.
Without a risk assessment to inform your cyber security choices, you could waste time, effort and resources. There is little point implementing measures to defend against events that are unlikely to occur or won’t impact your organisation.
