Course Description

In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, managing information security risks is vital for organizations of all sizes. Cyber threats are growing more sophisticated, making any business a potential target, regardless of scale.

A cyberattack on an unprepared company can lead to severe consequences such as data breaches, financial loss, reputational damage, and lowered employee morale. Relying solely on antivirus software is no longer enough to protect against these threats.

This course guides you through developing and implementing a robust risk management strategy tailored to your organization’s unique challenges. You’ll learn how to identify, evaluate, and treat risks effectively to reduce your exposure to cyberattacks.

As part of the course, you will complete a practical project using a provided risk assessment template. You’ll create and assess at least five cybersecurity risks relevant to your organization, evaluate their likelihood and impact using a risk matrix, and develop a risk treatment plan to calculate residual risks.

• Organizations of any size or industry aiming to improve information security risk management.


• Professionals seeking to apply ISO 27005 principles aligned with ISO 27001.
