Ransomware, phishing, stolen credentials and misconfigured cloud services hit organisations of every size, and clients, regulators and donors increasingly ask for proof of control. A security programme must combine technical defences that actually work with a management system that keeps them working. Over ten days, IT and security staff gain both, with the emphasis on doing rather than reading slides.
The first week covers threats and attack methods, network and endpoint hardening, firewalls, identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, encryption, patching, logging and vulnerability scanning with tools such as Nmap and Wireshark in a lab environment. The second week turns to ISO/IEC 27001: scoping, context and leadership, risk assessment and treatment, the Statement of Applicability, Annex A controls, policies, supplier and cloud security, business continuity, incident response, internal audit and preparation for certification. A final exercise brings technical and management work together in a simulated attack and response. The programme is for system and network administrators, security officers, IT managers, auditors, risk and compliance staff and developers in banks, telecoms, government and NGOs. It runs in classroom, online and in-house formats. You leave with a risk register, draft policies, a hardened lab environment, an incident playbook and a CPD-accredited certificate.
Every organisation now depends on information systems, and every one is a target. Attacks no longer need sophistication to succeed; weak passwords, unpatched servers, over-privileged accounts and untrained staff provide plenty of openings. Security that is limited to a few tools tends to decay, which is why standards-based management matters alongside technical skill.
This ten-day course is split deliberately between practice and management. The opening days establish the threat landscape and the fundamentals of securing networks, operating systems, applications and cloud services, with laboratory exercises in scanning, hardening, access control, encryption and log analysis. Participants learn how to detect problems, prioritise vulnerabilities and contain an incident. The second part introduces ISO/IEC 27001 and shows how to build an information security management system around real risks: defining scope, assessing and treating risk, selecting controls, writing policies and procedures, training staff and measuring performance.
The last days address supplier and cloud risk, business continuity, internal audit and certification readiness. Delegates finish with a documented set of risk and control artefacts for their own organisation, and a team simulation that tests detection, response and reporting under time pressure.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
