What you will learn

The course is divided into three modules:

• Reality Check:A practical demonstration of what can and can't really happen on your network
  In this module we describe and demonstrate some of the better-known and lesser-known attacks that are being used against your network. You'll see how these attacks actually work, how difficult or easy they are to execute, and what the impact will be if they succeed.
• Digital Self Defense: How to protect your own electronic space
  In this module we'll explore the risks that face you and your own personal technology and data. We'll consider many of the security issues that affect you as an individual and a representative of your company. This includes maintaining your privacy on the Internet, guarding the data on your workstation and protecting your personal area network – your notebook, your phone and your PDA.
• The Art of War: Sound security decision making
  In this module we'll start to equip with some of the facts, the thinking skills and the reasoning ability you'll need to process all the information you're faced with and make relevant risk management decisions. We'll look at the definition of risk, and how it can be evaluated, we'll consider how to evaluate different security solutions and the role of various standards and 'best practices'.
  The course will be presented in an interactive manner with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
