Trainings & Certifications

As none of these measures address the Weakest-Link in the security chain Cyber hygiene, patching vulnerabilities, security by design, threat hunting and machines learning based artificial intelligence are mandatory prerequisites for cyber defence against the next generation threat landscape..
Cyber Technologies and trainings are prevalent in modern society and include communication networks, handheld computers, cloud computing environments, cyber governance and embedded computing technologies such has integrated into all modern automobiles, airplanes and military systems. Many of these systems are not secure by any reasonable definition of security. When compromised, the loss of these systems could cause dramatic loss of data and capabilities, resulting in exposure of private information, financial loss, loss of services and even death.
Cyber security trainings are crucial for any modern business to protect their sensitive data, processes and IT systems. The incidence and severity of cyber-attacks is increasing tremendously – especially amongst medium and smaller businesses – and a lack of investment in cyber security and trainings could put an organization or professional at a significant risk.
The impact of a security breach is now far more damaging than organization/professional might expect. Not only will a loss of critical information or infrastructure directly affect organization competitiveness and cash flow, it could also damage organization / professional reputation and affect the going-concern of an entity.
Professionals may have built business reputation over years, but a security breach could destroy it in a matter of hours.
