About Workshop
Understanding IT security is essential for all organisations that rely on information and the exchange of information to function effectively. Information security means protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, perusal, inspection, recording or destruction.
The terms information security, computer security and information assurance are frequently incorrectly used interchangeably. These fields are interrelated often and share the common goals of protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information; however, there are some subtle differences between them.
The field of information security has grown and evolved significantly in recent years. There are many ways of gaining entry into the field as a career. It offers many areas for specialization including: securing network(s) and allied infrastructure, securing applications and databases, security testing, information systems auditing, business continuity planning and digital forensics science, etc.
The news is increasingly filled with stories of IT security attacks and new security threats. In such a hostile environment filled with hackers, viruses, spyware and spam organisations need systems and processes that provide a sufficient level of network and computer system defences. To do so requires internet security and computer network security training.
You’ll learn IT security management skills through hands-on exercises, interactive case studies and relevant discussions with your peers and an experienced IT security specialitst.
