Course outline

Cybersecurity education plays an important role in IT security of any large organization as many of the security incidents happen due to the mistakes an organization’s employees make. Having knowledge about the security principles and methodologies to enforce those principles helps the employees of the organization to handle unforeseen scenarios of decision making. The course also covers existing best practices in maintaining IT security, privacy. The use cases presented at the end of the course will allow the participants to apply the knowledge they gathered through the course. Participants’ understanding will be enforced by making them go through an educative quiz on which they can initiate discussions to validate their thinking process while handling the scenarios presented.
