About the Course

This course is intended to provide a general introduction to key concepts in cyber security. It is aimed at anyone with a good general knowledge of information and communications technology. The nature, scope and importance of cyber security are explained, and key concepts are justified and explored. This includes examining the types of threat that cyber security must address, as well as the range of mechanisms, both technological and procedural, that can be deployed. The role of cryptography in providing security is explored, including how algorithms and keys play their part in enabling cyber security. The key supporting function played by key management is identified, including why the use of cryptographic functions depends on it. The need for security management in an organisation is explained, and its main elements are introduced - including the key role played by risk management.

Rewarding and engaging topic and module to read and study on. Found the lectures concise, with varying layers of reading topics and material. Gained such a deeper level of Cyber Security than I intended, bringing together various fields, I didn't have a firm grip or knowledge in. Sound style of delivery in the content and lectures. Did replay some to be certain I understood the content. Read a lot of terminology, that I didn't have awareness of before and found some reading articles quite hard to fully handle. I made such advances in how I see and now understand cyber security, networks and systems. Much, much more I wanted to learn and gain. Will be acquiring it to advance career IT knowledge in government departments or when I return abroad again.

Made me really think !

The course takes a simple approach and slowly transitions into the complex themes including the regulatory part, which is often ignored. The course provided an ample insight into the evergrowing need of security and how far the regulations have come in order to counter or at least mitigate the risk of a cyberattack.

I'm so grateful that I took this course, because it made me fall in love with CyberSecurity even worse. I now understand more about what goes in into cyber security, and I believe I'll be able to apply what I've learned in the real world.
