| Course Objectives Consumers, Organisations and Governments are all susceptible, in one way or another, to Cyber Threats, which has become big business and continues to be increasingly sophisticated. To this end it is vital for all organisations to implement a cybersecurity (cs) framework to prevent, detect, monitor and take corrective action as a means to limiting exposure to cyber threats. Cyber threats could prove to be very costly and result in reputational damage. The Cybersecurity Framework should include the policies, processes, procedures and best practices to manage cybercrime in different forms.
