Learn the best practices for implementing enterprise security to help protect your business and strengthen your defences.
This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.
This two-week course delves into the fundamentals of cybersecurity to help you better protect your company from an attack.
You’ll learn to describe the current enterprise security landscape before exploring key security philosophies such as the Assume Compromise approach. You’ll also gain hands-on experience as you complete practical exercises.
The course emphasises the red and blue cybersecurity professionals and helps you identify their roles and responsibilities.
The goal of the red team is to penetrate security and laterally move across the system while the blue team must defend, respond, and protect.
You’ll practice red team versus blue team exercises to understand how both teams work together to strengthen a company’s defences.
You’ll learn how to develop organisational preparations and processes for implementing enterprise security.
You’ll also examine the responses to organisational security to help you understand how enterprise security works in practice.
You’ll learn practical skills from the experts at CloudSwyft, a leading Learning-as-a-Service platform provider.
By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to start implementing enterprise security to better protect your organisation.
This course is designed for anyone interested in cybersecurity.
Enterprise security may already be part of your job role or you might be just starting your career.
