Course Overview

In the digital era, cybersecurity is no longer a purely technical concern—it is a governance and compliance priority. Organizations face increasing risks from cyberattacks, data breaches, and regulatory scrutiny. Weak cybersecurity governance or non-compliance can result in financial loss, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.

This ten-day course from EuroQuest International Training explores governance models, cybersecurity risk frameworks, regulatory requirements (such as GDPR, NIST, ISO 27001), and foresight-driven strategies for anticipating cyber threats.
