Why you should book?
This course trains you how to think about security and privacy; even how to make aspects into Selling Propositions for your group or company. It teaches security and privacy as a business asset to be valued and assessed as any other. By cutting aside the ‘fear, uncertainty and doubt’, and the technical jargon, that so often seems to dominate security discussions, it enables productive discussions and effective decision making throughout an organisation.
You’ll work in small groups to find solutions to a real business problem: we teach by letting you learn, so there’s no ‘death by webinar’. You’ll discover first how security can be a product management decision; then see how the technical experts and business experts can work together to identify and assess the issues; then find out how to take the vital step of identifying the benefits from solving security issues. It’s intense education, and we’ll ensure it stays fun with breaks and careful timing.
Best of all, you can take this training and repeat it yourself within your organisations. We’ll provide materials to run a workshop session yourself, or (for a small fee) can support you in delivering an online session yourself.
