Government agencies, organisations, companies, and individuals are all potential targets for cyberattacks. The digitisation of services and products, along with the increasing amount of cybercrime, places greater demands on protecting systems from being hacked.
If you rely on computers, cloud services, and networks in your work, you should have a basic understanding of cybersecurity, which means knowing how to protect information and systems from malicious attacks. What are the threats? How do you assess different threats? How do you avoid unnecessary risks? These are some typical questions addressed in training programs in the field.
