CySec100: Essential CyberSecurity Foundational Awareness Course
CySec100 builds from ground zero. It takes participants with no technical or security background through to a level of theoretical understanding and applied practical skill sufficient to speak the same language as industry professionals.
The course covers the ground a security professional assumes everyone already knows: how operating systems, containers and networks actually work, what the CIA triad and authentication really mean, how cryptography underpins trust, how malware is classified, how a modern attack unfolds, and what an organisation does when one succeeds. It gives participants the essential skills needed for safe and secure digital adoption in a modern enterprise.
