Overview

On this accelerated SECO-Institute Information Security Practitioner course, you will gain the fundamental information security skills necessary to become a successful Information Security Officer or Manager.

  • Integrate information security into strategic management and organisational culture, while ensuring compliance with information security laws, regulations and standards.
  • Adopt a risk-based approach to information security

At the end of this course, you’ll sit the SECO-Institute Information Security Practitioner exam and achieve your certification.
