Introduction:
Cybersecurity is in the news a lot these days. The problem is that both individuals and organisations large and small have become targets of cybercriminals. But there’s good news, too. Organisations are fighting back with information security. It’s all about protecting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. The goal is to prevent unauthorised access, use, modification and destruction of our vital information.
Aim
In this course, we will become aware of and learn to follow organisation security policies and guidelines. We will also consider when handling information or business-related documents their sensitivity and adopt precautionary behaviours. We will determine if information is sensitive, ask yourself what harm could be caused if information were lost, stolen or leaked. Lastly, we will understand the processes around reporting any loss, theft or unauthorised disclosure of sensitive information.
