Description:

This course will equip you with the framework, vocabulary and understanding of cyber risks, and will give you the confidence to take the lead in cybersecurity initiatives.

 

If you are a leader, or preparing for a leadership role, you are accountable for the cyber maturity of your organization. In a world where IT-dependency grows and new cyber threats surface every day, cybersecurity is not something that can simply be delegated to the IT-department. It must be on the strategic agenda at the highest level of your organization.

This course has been designed for organizational leaders: managers, directors and advisors to the board, who seek the knowledge that will help them develop a custom cybersecurity program for their organization or improve an existing one. It goes beyond the technical solutions and presents cybersecurity as an enterprise-wide risk management challenge, with an impact at technical, organizational and governance levels.

 

Additional in-person sessions in the Cyber Security Academy in The Hague

This course provides two in-person (or hybrid) sessions during the course in the Hague. Learners will be able to interact directly with the experts, discuss key issues affecting their organization, network with their peers and do an industry-related presentation. In these sessions, you can bring your examples or questions, and receive advice or solutions/ways forward for your unique cyber situation. Participants not able to attend, are welcome to join online. Detail will be announced once the course starts.

 

This course is taught by experts associated with the Cyber Security Academy, an initiative of the municipality of The Hague and a cooperation between Delft University of Technology, Leiden University and the Hague University of Applied Sciences. The Cyber Security Academy is known for its high level of professional education and its interdisciplinary approach.

 

In this course you will learn to:

  • Develop strategies to build a cyber-resilient organization.
  • Identify cyber threats for your organization (including ransomware and phishing attacks), assess their risk levels, and determine how to mitigate these risks to acceptable levels.
  • Lead the cybersecurity initiative within your organization by developing solutions, including the design and implementation of cybersecurity action plans.
  • Deal with cybersecurity crises at a strategic level.
