As criminals grow more sophisticated, corporations are taking cybersecurity as a top operational priority. Ransomware attacks such as WannaCry and Petya put enterprises’ data at such huge risk that corporations took notice.

More than 25% of executives surveyed by PricewaterhouseCoopers expected companies to increase their cybersecurity spending by double digits, in 2022. A career in cybersecurity could be as a penetration tester, chief information security officer, security engineer, incident responder, security software developer, security auditor, or security consultant.

If you are considering pursuing a career in cybersecurity and don't know how and where to begin, this live online course is the start.
