Opleiding: IT-Security Foundation

Learn all about the key technical tools available to information security professionals in this two-day training course.

Information security rests on three pillars: people, processes, and technology. None of these three can function without the others. But for people without a technical background, the technical pillar can be particularly challenging. The IT world uses its own specific tools and associated jargon, and a good understanding of this language will help you in your role as an information security professional.

you’ll gain an accessible introduction to the most important technical tools available to information security professionals.
you’ll learn what’s in the toolbox and what each tool does (the concepts are explained), without being overwhelmed by all sorts of details about the precise technical workings.
