Cyber Risk Management
Recent events have magnified the ever increasing risk of using the Internet for daily operations. In terms of severity of consequences, cyber risk is now on par with (if not exceeds) other major business risks.
This course will teach you how to manage cyber as the dynamic business risk it has become rather than the static technological one it has been historically.
