The use of computers and networked systems in the workplace has opened businesses and organizations to a variety of risks. Every employee using a computer connected to the organization’s network is a potential point of entry for a cyber-attack. For this reason, cybersecurity and protecting the organization’s data/information is every employee’s responsibility. This course will help students understand the different types of cyber-attacks their company may face, the type of information that is at risk, how to recognize cyber-attacks and why it is important for everyone in the organization to participate in cybersecurity.
