Pre-requisites

Basic understanding of IT systems is recommended, but not mandatory.

Participants should have gone through the basic level of cybersecurity course and have an awareness about the basic concepts.

What you'll learn

With the ever-increasing use of tech systems, security starts becoming highly important. This requires organizations to implement robust cybersecurity systems to protect confidential information, data and the organization from any situation that can cause financial loss or loss of reputation. Organizations need to be able to identify the gaps in their current security systems and implement effective ones that can keep up with the changes in the tech and digital world.

This is where gap analysis and auditing comes into the picture. Gap analysis refers to the process of determining the difference in their current state of information security to specific requirements. By conducting a gap analysis process, an organization can identify how far away they are from the industry’s best standards, such as ISO 27001.

The course introduces participants to the industry standards of cybersecurity practices as well as methodologies to identify vulnerable gaps in the organization.
