Cyber Security Courses

In today's world, organizations must be prepared to defend against threats in cyberspace. Decision makers must be familiar with the basic principles and best practices of cybersecurity to best protect their enterprises. In our courses, experts from academia, forensic investigators, the police/military, and industry share their knowledge to give participants the principles, the state of the practice, and strategies for the future.

Sessions normally address information security, ethical and legal practices, and mitigating cyber vulnerabilities. Participants learn about the process of incident response and analysis. The content is targeted at ensuring the privacy, reliability, and integrity of information systems.

Our majority of the courses (about 75%) is geared toward participants at the decision-making level who need a broad overview, rather than those who are already deeply immersed in the technical aspects of cybersecurity (software development, digital forensics, etc.), although both groups will find the courses valuable.

Cybersecurity is a very large subject, and therefore the courses are only intended to cover the basics of the current leading and pressing cybersecurity topics. The result is that we can cover many different approaches. The goal is for participants to understand the utility of each topic, not to become specialists in any one subject.

Some of the courses offered under cyber-security are;

  • Ethical Hacker
  • Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator
  • Licensed Penetration Tester
  • Certified Network Defence Architect
  • Network Security Administrator
  • Certified Security Analyst
  • Certified Secure Programmer and Certified Secure Application Developer
  • Security 5
  • Certified Computer Examiner
  • Certified Security Compliance Specialist
  • Certified Computer Crime Investigator
  • Certified Forensic Computer Examiner Certification
  • CyberSecurity Institute Certified Instructor (CSICI)
