Course Description
Strengthening cyber security is everyone’s business. Whether you work for a federal government department, a provincial or municipal organization, or have a confirmed role at an organization that deals with national security and systems of importance to the Government of Canada, everyone has a responsibility to uphold safe cyber practices. Every day we connect to cyber space and with that comes risks. We may feel safe and invincible, but the reality is that threat actors, cyber criminals, and basement hackers do not take breaks.
The Cyber Centre Learning Hub is pleased to offer this Cyber Security in the GC Boot Camp to provide valuable information on the threats we face, how to mitigate risks, and how to apply best practices when we use wireless devices, connect to our network from home, and use various software programs.
