Data, Privacy and AI Security
The Cyber Security: Data, Privacy, and AI Security Specialization is designed to give you the critical skills needed to protect organizations in today’s data-driven and AI-powered world. Bringing together three advanced courses, Cyber Security: Data Security and Information Privacy, Cyber Security: Data Privacy, and Cyber Security: Security of AI, this program blends technical expertise, regulatory insight, and forward-looking strategy.Technology and Governance
This training covers topics ranging from the security of computer systems and networks to the key role of human aspects in cybercrime. You will learn fundamental concepts related to computer system core components and how computers work, then extend this to consider a variety of topics from hardware to applications. Aspects of cybercriminal activity are explained in topics such as social engineering, arguably the most important attack vector in cybercrime, and the range of actors related to cybercrime: the criminals, the victims, and law enforcement.Cryptography, Network Security, and Application Security
The course begins with an in-depth exploration of cryptographic principles, including hashing, salting, encryption, non-repudiation, and secure protocols. You'll gain hands-on experience with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) systems and delve into the vulnerabilities of cryptographic attacks.Advanced Risk Management, Security Controls & Monitoring
This comprehensive course delves into the NIST Risk Management Framework, guiding you through the process of selecting, implementing, and monitoring security controls.Data Security and Information Privacy
In a digital-first world, data is more than an asset—it’s a liability if not protected. With rising breaches, stricter global regulations, and growing public scrutiny, organisations must do more than lock down their systems—they must actively secure their data and ensure privacy by design. This course offers a powerful, hands-on exploration of the principles, methods, and technologies for managing data
security and privacy in complex, real-world environments.Cyber Awareness and Innovation
This course empowers students, professionals, and the wider community to address cybersecurity attacks and risks related to identity management and serves as an introduction to the upcoming full course on cybersecurity awareness. It provides a practical overview of challenging issues such as identity credential management and security, e-mail threats and web impersonation, and web hacking.
