Regardless of the size of a business organization, technological investments and reliance is a common norm, but the increase in the number of cyber risks and threats has emphasized the importance of developing proper solutions that help preserve the safety of an organization’s digital assets. In this online course, the students will be presented with a professionally developed learning framework that will help them to thoroughly analyze a business organization’s capacities to implement the security controls outlined by the Canadian Center for Cyber Security. Moreover, the course helps students understand and acknowledge the cyber risks and threats, develop governing mechanisms that respond to the needs of the organization, and understand the most prominent methods and techniques for responding to cybersecurity risks and threats at an organizational level.

The course is comprised of five (5) manageable modules, which were proportionally divided into sections that will support the learning process, with each module providing a specific outlook on the baseline controls document, which predominantly includes the most important cyber risks and threats that organizations should be aware of, the mitigation mechanisms, and the techniques and controls that can be established for ensuring the safety of organizational systems and networks. The course starts with defining and establishing the organizational controls for cybersecurity, proceeds to further analyze the steps and techniques for implementing and operating the cybersecurity solutions, then further elaborates on the actions on objectives that organizations should undertake to maintain and improve security, and lastly describes the processes for maintaining and improving the developed system that ensures the cyber safety of an organization.
