Course details
Cybersecurity can be daunting because of its technical complexity and the ever-changing threats to individuals and organizations. And more than ever, cybersecurity also is a core business function for organizations of all kinds. Just like other business issues—like finance, legal, or human resources—cybersecurity has its own set of external policies, laws, rules, established practices, and resources for getting help. Getting to know these policies and resources better across your organization—and not just within your IT department—can be hugely beneficial to your company. This course seeks to make key cybersecurity policies and resources clear and understandable—whether you work in IT, in business, or are just interested in how information security fits in with our public policies and laws. Join instructor Gregory Michaelidis to improve your personal or organizational cybersecurity with grounding in the latest regulations, governmental authorities, and resources available.
