Foundations of Information Security

Data breaches are time-consuming, expensive, and bad for business. But with the right information security, you can reduce your company’s risk of unauthorized access and destruction of your information technology systems.

In this online cybersecurity course, you’ll learn to build countermeasures to defend against the most fundamental and common types of vulnerabilities, risks and attacks that your company could face, so you can ensure business continuity and provide your stakeholders with peace of mind. You’ll apply your learning to real-world cases, so you can understand how high-profile mega-breaches at Target, JPMorgan, Chase, Yahoo and Equifax occurred.
