This course explores various best practice principles underpinning cyber security resilience in organisations and develops your comprehension and application of cyber resilience methodologies leading to best practices.
This course explores key methodologies and practices that should be followed by organisations to achieve cyber resilience. In doing so, the course explores relevant strategies required by organisations to take appropriate and relevant management decisions so that cyber incidents are properly understood and controls are built to resist incidents.
