Introduction
This course introduces the concept of viewing cybersecurity through the lens of risk management. Specifically, learners will gain an understanding of how an organisation should determine its allocation of resources for security based on risk assessment. This approach enables an organisation to optimise its security measures within the constraints of its budget and other available resources, all while effectively aligning with its business objectives and compliance requirements. Accordingly, the course provides a comprehensive overview of the key conceptual tools necessary for conducting risk analysis.
Furthermore, the course delves deeper into advanced subjects, providing detailed insights into the role of cyber threat intelligence and audits in the context of cybersecurity risk management. Additionally, it covers the process of business continuity planning, essential for managing security events of high intensity that could potentially disrupt normal business operations.
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity and Digital Trust
- FlexiMasters in Cybersecurity and Digital Trust
- This course has yet to be mapped to the relevant Master's Programme
Learners are encouraged to complete the following core courses before enrolling in the remaining courses:
- Foundations of Cybersecurity (1 AU)
- Basic Cybersecurity Risk Management (1 AU)
- Intermediate Cybersecurity Risk Management (1 AU)
This course aims to equip learners to understand and describe different techniques for risk assessment and analysis, and how these exercises help optimize an organization’s security posture subject to budgetary constraints. Furthermore, learners will learn about the role of security audits and business continuity plans to achieve proper cybersecurity
risk management.
At the end of the course, learners will be able to:
- Explain the usage of typical conceptual tools used for risk analysis.
- Explain security management from a risk management perspective.
- Describe practical mechanisms for managing risk.
- Analyse real world case studies from the perspective of cybersecurity risk management.
