Course Description

If you were asked to climb a chain that had a rusty link somewhere, you’d probably think twice. After all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. It’s an expression we’ve all heard before, but it’s true. One weak point and the whole thing snaps, and you’re tumbling to the floor!

The same is true for cybersecurity. Cybercriminals are most likely to attack at the weakest point. If you have a weak link, they’ll be able to exploit it and cause damage along the entire supply chain. This course will help you ensure your entire supply chain has robust cybersecurity.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
• Explain why cybersecurity is paramount to every step of a supply chain
• Recognize common supply chain cyberattacks
• Implement the principles of supply chain cybersecurity
Why take this course?
For your cybersecurity to be effective, it needs to cover your entire supply chain. This course, suitable for anyone in IT or security management, will teach you how to spot and deal with weak links. You’ll also learn some common cyber supply chain attacks, so you can work to prevent them from happening to you.
