Advanced - Master Program Cybersecurity & Cloud Specialist Mastery | CYBERSECURITY & CLOUD duration
As we increasingly make use of the network and its services with greater ease, the complexity of the underlying technology increases and with it the risks and threats associated with the transfer of sensitive personal and business data grow exponentially.
92% of Italian companies have admitted to having suffered a cyber attack. 62% of these breaches resulted in damages of more than €80,000.
3.92 million is the average cost of a Data Breach, a risk shared by small and medium-sized companies as well as large multinationals, and reaching up to 5.16 million in cases where security automation solutions and technologies have not been adopted.
Faced with such an emergency escalation, companies are running for cover by increasing their cybersecurity budgets and hiring personnel specialised in this area. This is why the demand for cybersecurity specialists is steadily increasing.
Acquiring Cybersecurity expertise is now the strategic choice to change your future!
But who is the Cybersecurity expert?
The cybersecurity expert is the key figure responsible for maintaining the integrity, availability and confidentiality of data on company information systems. This figure works to detect, prevent and resolve threats related to the security of IT infrastructures, mastering specific technologies in compliance with the reference standards and international regulations governing the sector. Following the occurrence of an incident, he/she has the task of implementing mitigation and response measures to deal with the breach, recover data and carry out investigations in order to identify correlations between events and responsibilities. In addition, it plays a key role in defining security policies and raising awareness among company personnel on the behaviours that should be implemented to limit the damage caused by the increasingly sophisticated social engineering techniques perpetrated by cyber criminals.
