Advanced Post Diploma Course Cybersecurity Junior Expert | CYBERSECURITY & CLOUD duration Part-time
The Data & Web Security market is currently worth more than $ 150 billion, and it is expected to reach – and probably exceed – the value of $ 350 billion by 2026. The main driver of this growth is the increasingly frequent occurrence of data-breach episodes, cyber incidents and cyber-attacks.
In today's highly interconnected world, Cybersecurity is therefore an area destined to acquire an increasingly important role within company processes and the world of work. According to a recent study, cyber-risks are in fact ranked third among the risks perceived by managers around the world. Faced with such an emergency escalation, companies are running for cover by increasing their Cybersecurity budgets and hiring specialized personnel in this area.
This is why the demand for IT security specialists is constantly increasing. Acquiring Cybersecurity skills now represents the strategic choice to change your future!
But who is the Cybersecurity expert?
The Cybersecurity expert represents the key figure responsible for maintaining the integrity, availability and confidentiality of the data present on companies’ 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 international standards and regulations governing the sector. Following the occurrence of an incident, it has the task of implementing the mitigation and response measures aimed at dealing with the violation, recovering the data and carrying out investigations in order to identify the correlations between the events and the responsibilities. Furthermore, it plays a fundamental role in defining security policies and in raising awareness among company personnel on the behaviors that must be implemented to limit the damage deriving from the increasingly sophisticated social engineering techniques perpetrated by cyber criminals.
