Introduction to Cryptography with MindGrove

INTRODUCTION TO CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR NON-IT SPECIALISTS

COURSE OVERVIEW

This intellectually challenging course is drawn from the demand for an understanding of relatively secure solutions to the problems of authenticity, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation and data security offered by the field of cryptography.

COURSE BENEFITS

Skills:

After completion of this course, you will be able to:

Understand the challenge of secure transmission and the role of cryptography in protecting your transactions and transmissions
Recognise and describe the core cryptographic schemes
Evaluate the usefulness of cryptographic security and control solutions to your organisation
Review the deployment of cryptographic solutions within the organisation
Make framework plans for the adoption of cryptographic solutions within your organisation

Support Materials:

The course is accompanied by a detailed manual that contains briefings illustrations and screenshots, and after-course reference materials to form a powerful personal resource.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Those with not less than six months experience in IT Auditing or IT Security that have to extend their activities into the field of cryptography. This course will be beneficial to those taking QiCA, CISA, CISM or CISSP exams. The focus of the course will be on common processes and routine solutions and will involve live software demonstrations and interactions.
