Cybersecurity Fundamentals Prepare your business for the challenges of cybersecurity and the NIS 2 Directive

Master the essential basics and advanced techniques of cybersecurity to protect your organization against modern threats.

Security is an integral part of the working environment of a network and systems administrator. It must be thought out and integrated into the early stages of network and system design, long before they are implemented. But for this, it is absolutely necessary to understand the basic and advanced concepts of security, whether they concern the threat environment around us or the risk approaches supposed to evaluate the relevance of protections or countermeasures. In addition, heterogeneous environments such as Hybrid-Cloud and regulations such as GDPR/NIS 2 must be put into perspective in the face of cybersecurity challenges.

This first training will provide a good understanding of the key elements of cybersecurity and prepare your company or organization for the entry into force of Directive NIS 2. You can then follow more advanced training such as ISO 27001, NIS 2, etc.
