Understanding cybersecurity risk is an essential first step in protecting data and ensuring organizational resiliency in the event of a cyber-attack or natural disaster. Cyber risks can take the form of technical or physical threats or vulnerabilities, regulatory compliance requirements, financial loss, data loss, or reputational harm.
To help address these challenges, Mark O. Hatfield Cybersecurity and Cyber Defense Policy Center is offering a 12-week non-credit professional certificate program in Building Cyber Resilience. This program is highly collaborative and will use a cohort-based case study approach to learn about common cyber risks; how to identify, assess, and communicate cyber risk; and how to conduct the first step in mitigating threats through a risk assessment. A deep technical background isn’t required, and technical concepts will be explained through the course of 12 weekly sessions. Program staff will work with participants to create a unique shared learning experience that is approachable for non-technical practitioners. Sessions will be offered remotely on Fridays from 9:00 - 10:30 am.
