Introduction

The course for effective protection against cybercrime, hacking and data theft

In the corporate environment as well as in the private and public sectors, it is important to master new IT security challenges in the areas of cloud security, IoT, smart technologies, artificial intelligence and big data and to face the new threats in the area of social Engineering and hacking. Networks must be secured against unauthorized data access, attacks must be detected and forensically analyzed, security-critical and fail-safe systems and processes must be developed and a secure environment for communication and the protection of company knowledge and personal data must be created. Based on more than 20 years of experience in the IT security training field, these new challenges have been particularly emphasized in a newly designed curriculum since 2020.
