Overview

Gain an understanding of various threats and system vulnerabilities and learn to apply basic risk management and risk assessment principles relating to cybersecurity threats. In our current digitally disrupted era, cybersecurity has now become more critical and the stakes are much higher. Daily cyber attack occurrences demonstrate the risks posed by cyber threats – from individual, opportunistic hackers, to professional and organised cyber-criminal groups with strategies to systematically steal intellectual property, disrupt businesses and even threaten our safety.

It is essential that your organisation takes control of allocating the right resources to address cyber threats, actively manage risk and prepare responses to cyber threats and incidents. This includes creating an informed and knowledgeable organisational culture.

You and your team are the first and primary line of defense against online crime. That’s where cybersecurity awareness training comes into play—equipping Public Service Officers with the knowledge and skills they need to protect themselves from criminal elements.
