Course Overview

The first step to protect an organisation is to conduct a Security Risk Assessment (SRA). It involves the identification of threats against the organisation, understanding its vulnerabilities and assets. Using a risk-based approach, prioritised risks will be mitigated using various security risk mitigation strategies and security design concepts. 

Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend this before attending the Implementing Threat, Vulnerability & Risk Assessment workshop.
