Cyber Security

Cyber security training courses at Capgemini Academy

At Capgemini Academy, we focus on three types of cyber security training: awareness training for non-IT professionals, management training for underpinning security knowledge and expert training for IT professionals such as developers in architects who wish to master the technical side of cyber security. 

Why is cyber security so important?

In an increasingly digital world, in which organizations depend on advanced IT systems and data exchange, cyber security constitutes the most important line of defense against both internal and external threats. And this concerns not only the protection of technology: it’s about safeguarding business continuity, protecting customer information and retaining trust. Every data leak or cyber attack can result in enormous financial losses, reputational damage and even legal problems. 

What is the role of a cyber security expert in an organization?

Cyber security experts are responsible for identifying, preventing and responding to cyber threats. They monitor an organization’s systems and networks continuously to detect attacks and to counter these at an early stage. 

In addition to the technical aspects, cyber security experts also help with the development and enforcement of security protocols and procedures. They collaborate closely with other departments to ensure that cyber security is integrated into all business processes and to ensure that it is not viewed as simply an IT task. This means, for example, that they provide training to increase cyber security awareness throughout the entire organization, and to make sure that employees know how to act in the event of an attack. 

Finally, cyber security experts are also responsible for compliance with laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They also help organizations draw up robust security policies that comply with both legal and company requirements.  

Why take a cyber security training course?

Cyber security is a responsibility not only for developers and architects, but for everyone in an organization. By taking a training course, you learn how to recognize potential threats, how attacks get triggered and what the consequences can be.  

Becoming aware is the first step toward a secure work environment in which IT specialists and data protection officers construct a secure infrastructure and other employees play an active role in reporting cyber threats. This way, cyber security becomes an integral part of your organization and a joint responsibility.

Cyber security in depth

One important part of cyber security is that you as an organization test your own systems. An ethical hacker, sometimes called a white-hat hacker, is a vital player within an organization’s cyber security strategy. These experts simulate cyber attacks to detect vulnerabilities in systems, networks and applications before others with evil intent can do so.  

By identifying security leaks and proposing solutions, ethical hackers help organizations strengthen their security and act pro-actively to counter potential threats. 

While traditional hackers attempt to penetrate systems for nefarious purposes, ethical hackers work within clear ethical boundaries and with an organization’s permission. This makes them an important component of the defense against cyber attacks, since they use the same techniques and methods as cyber criminals, but with the intention of preventing damage.
