Moonstone Business School of Excellence (MBSE) has a great way for you to become cybersecurity smart and earn your CPD points.
MBSE is rolling out a cybersecurity package that consists of three courses, six newsletters, and two webinars – all aimed at equipping you with the knowledge and tools to protect your personal and business information from cyber threats.
The content is created by DataGR8, which provides data-focused technology and services to customers across Africa.
The first course, “Understanding the Cloud”, went live in August. The other two, “SMMEs’ approach to self-assessing cybersecurity” and “Cyber leadership and strategy”, will follow in due course.
“Understanding the Cloud”, which retails at R396, is accredited for 3.5 CPD points.
The course is a comprehensive introduction to cloud computing, covering the key concepts, technologies, and deployment models. In addition, the course will enable you to assess the advantages and potential drawbacks of adopting cloud computing for an organisation, and the factors to consider when selecting a cloud service provider.
