Course Description

The field of technology is growing exponentially with the IT sector flourishing every day. Amidst such growth of the industry and increased concern for privacy, the demand for security is rising. Cybersecurity has become an everyday struggle for many businesses. Recent trends and statistics reveal that there is a huge increase in hacked and breached data from very common sources at workplaces. So, go for this course to get a better understanding of cybersecurity!

Most people are often confused when they are asked - “WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY?” The most common reply is - “UM, HACKING.” Well, hacking is part of cybersecurity but it doesn’t mean that hacking is the synonym of cybersecurity. Many courses out there only teach how to use the tool but the reasoning that goes behind its selection is not taught. Our course focuses on the logic that goes behind the selection of a particular tool. We aim at clearing concepts rather than teaching how to use a tool.

Hackers attack every 39 seconds, on average 2,244 times a day.

So, are you sure that your data is well protected from these hackers? Have you even configured your network to control your privacy? Do you know how hackers can access your devices without your knowledge?? Well, don’t worry! We are here to answer these questions.
