Course Description

Organizations in the digital age face many challenges, including cyber security. Cyber attacks are expected to cost $10.5 trillion globally by 2025.

Modern organizations need cyber resilience to be able to respond and recover from cyberattacks.

This ExpertTrack will help you to understand cyber security basics that can be used to protect your company.

Through real-world examples of malware attacks, you'll discover why cyber security is so important. Learn how to protect yourself against social engineering attacks and key defenses like ransomware protection. These best practices will be reinforced by mobile data security policies and password policy.

This ExpertTrack's final half focuses on access and identity management. This will allow you to control who has access to sensitive information, which can help support cyber resilience and data security.

This ExpertTrack consists of four cyber security courses that will help you to build your organization's cyber resilience.

This is a brief introduction to cyber security. The first will explain how to avoid common cyber threats like ransomware and social engineering attacks such as phishing. Learn about the importance of password and mobile data security policies for your organization and how you can prepare for the worst by disaster management.

The second course is focused on malware protection. This course will teach you how to recognize different types of malware attacks, such as trojan horses and ransomware. You'll also learn how to create a strategy to protect yourself against the ever-changing threat posed by this malware.

These courses are focused on access and identity management. This makes it possible to ensure sensitive information is not available to everyone at all times, which helps to increase data security. This course will cover important areas like single sign-on authentication, cloud identity management, and more.

This ExpertTrack is based on real-world examples. What you learn will allow you to immediately apply the knowledge to combat the real threat of cyberattacks. The EC Council, the largest cyber security technical certification organization in the world, has designed these cyber security courses. EC-Council certified more than 220000 professionals in information security around the world.
