This Discover (Online) stage contains three Courses, chosen for their relevance to your role as a Risk Analyst.

The first Course covers the Fundamentals of Information Security Risk Management. Here, you will learn about the organisational processes needed to manage risk, and how to assess and identify risks. This module will also cover the four risk treatment options: reduction, avoidance, transfer, and retention.

The second Course focuses on Cloud Governance, Risk, and Compliance. You will learn what is meant by cloud governance, and how to employ cloud security operations – such as asset management, access control, physical security, vulnerability management, SIEM tools and automated response – to identified vulnerabilities.

The final Course describes Types of Cyber Attacks and how to prevent them. You will learn about the channels through which malicious attackers infiltrate your network and systems. Cybercrime, cyber exploits, malware, denial of service attacks and threat prevention (using SIEM tools) will also be covered.

Once you’ve worked through these three Courses, you will have the opportunity to complete a personal reflection activity to close off the Learning Path.

After this Discover Learning Path, you’ll then attend a five-day Live event, guided by your tutor.
