Cyber Security Analyst FastTrack Course

Cyber Security Analyst FastTrack Course

Since the advent of mankind, there has been need to secure things that are valuable (homes, vehicles, land, sea, water, etc) to us.

No doubt information cum data has become increasingly valuable in this digital age. It is now easy for hackers and malicious actors to circumvent the security of information and data. Organisations are finding it difficult to protect the security of information/data and to keep pace with the compliance landscape from governmental agencies and regulatory bodies.

Any organisation that experiences the data breach suffers significant negative consequences such as but not limited to: loss of customers trust, loss of regulators trust, reputational loss, financial losses, fines, etc. In order to prevent these negative occurrences, and prevent hackers from attacking your organisation, there is an ever compelling need to hire Cyber security professionals that will implement the right security controls that will mitigate cyber threats.

This is an introductory course to the fast-growing field of Cyber Security leading to job opportunities in Cyber Security Operations and Security Operations Center (SOC). The course will provide reference materials and practice sessions.
