Course overview

Cyber security is fast becoming the backbone of the digital world. As organisations rely more heavily on cloud platforms, connected systems, and online services, protecting data and digital assets is now a critical business priority.

From cyber crime and data breaches to ransomware and insider threats, modern organisations face an ever-growing range of security challenges. Cyber security is no longer just an IT issue - it is a core part of how businesses operate, deliver services, and maintain trust.

Why cyber security matters

We are living in an era of constant digital connectivity. Driven by the internet, cloud computing, and networked communication systems, organisations generate and exchange vast volumes of sensitive information every day.

This data is highly valuable - not only to businesses, but also to cyber criminals. As a result, failures in security can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, service disruption, and regulatory consequences. Understanding cyber security fundamentals is essential for anyone working in today’s digital environment.
