Postgraduate certificate Network Cybersecurity

As technology advances, our connectivity increases and so do the threats and attack techniques. The more new functionalities there are and the more we communicate with each other, the more our attack surface increases. In other words, the possibilities and ways for cybercriminals to achieve their goals are growing. For this reason, this course will discuss the importance of devising a multi-layer defence, also known as “Defence in Depth”, covering all aspects of a corporate network. With TECH's unique quality.

Introduction to the Program

Acquire the skills of a Network Cybersecurity program in a few weeks with the most innovative Postgraduate certificate in online teaching"

We are currently in the information age, in the era of connectivity where we are all connected in both domestic and corporate environments.

The range of threats is very wide, from a Trojan with a built-in Keylogger that, through an email, manages to infect the computer only to obtain sensitive data that can be very lucrative, to a Trojan that turns the computer, or any other device within the network, into a Bot that communicates with a command & control server to perpetrate a large-scale denial of service attack.

That is why security defence and monitoring systems must evolve. Because in a world where teleworking and Cloud services are becoming more and more common, a traditional perimeter firewall is not enough.

Also, with the huge number of devices that will be generating alerts, it is necessary to have a team that is continuously reviewing them, a Security Operations Center or SOC that is able to detect from the simplest to the most complex threats thanks to the correlation of all events, and even in many cases to create automated responses in order to reduce containment and mitigation times of attacks.

Technology and connectivity are advancing at the same time as cyber threats: Get up to date on all the latest developments in this field of intervention"

Postgraduate Certificate in Network Cybersecurity

Name: Network Cybersecurity
Availability: InStock

Network cybersecurity is an essential discipline in today's world. The dependence on technology and digital communications is increasing, which forces us to be prepared to face the risks that this entails. For this reason, TECH Global University developed the Postgraduate Certificate in Network Cybersecurity, focused on addressing the main challenges and solutions to protect information and critical systems. Here, you will deepen your knowledge of networks and explore the threats that can affect them. The different types of attacks (phishing, malware, ransomware) and the security measures that can be applied to prevent them or mitigate their effects will be studied. Finally, we will delve into regulatory compliance and cybersecurity frameworks such as the ISO 27001 standard; with special emphasis on security policies, procedures and tools used in the business environment to ensure the protection of information and business continuity. <>/p>

Master network cybersecurity.

In this program we focus on training students in the identification of vulnerabilities in networks and systems, as well as in the implementation of solutions to protect them. To this end, aspects such as access management, authentication and data encryption, among others, will be addressed. In addition, emphasis will be placed on the importance of constantly updating systems and on the need to carry out penetration tests to identify possible weaknesses. Finally, we will delve into the aspects of governance and risk management in the enterprise environment. This will help students to design and implement efficient cybersecurity strategies. All this will enable them to be prepared to face current and future challenges in the field of network cybersecurity.
