About this course.
Many organizations continue to experience high exposure to cyber threats due to:
- Weak vulnerability scanning practices
- Poor patch management
- Insecure wireless network configurations
- Unsecured IoT and OT environments
- Misconfigured encryption settings
- Lack of practical security awareness across ICT teams
Common issues include:
- Open ports and exposed services
- Weak Wi-Fi authentication
- Poor segmentation of IoT/OT networks
- Default device credentials
- Outdated firmware
- Weak cryptographic implementation
- Lack of security testing routines
Without structured vulnerability management and environment hardening, organizations remain exposed to:
- Unauthorized access
- Lateral movement
- Data breaches
- Operational disruption
- Regulatory non-compliance
There is therefore a strong need for a practical, hands-on course focused on security scanning, wireless security, IoT/OT hardening, cryptography basics, and awareness strengthening across ICT environments.
