Course Overview

It’s the news no organization wants to hear―you’ve been the victim of a ransomware attack, and now you’re wondering what to do next. After a distressing event, you may feel unsure about what to do next.

In response to the growing threat of hacking and ransomware, this course focuses on spotting and stopping hacking and ransomware attacks. This CPE course is designed for individuals who would like to update their knowledge of hacking and ransomware. The emphasis will be on identifying and preventing hacking and ransomware attacks. This course is designed to familiarize participants who are not IT experts on cybersecurity risks and internal controls. We will cover the material in plain language in a non-technical manner. We will cover what you need to know, but not how to write the computer programs or code. 

Major Topics Covered:

  • Fraud Triangle Theory – Donald Cressey
  • Data Breaches
  • Red flags – Your computer is infected
  • SQL injection attacks
  • Basic Cybersecurity
  • Virtual Private Network

Join this CPE Course to raise awareness about cybersecurity and empower individuals to defend against ransomware attacks. 

Note: The purpose of the course is not to teach someone how to hack a computer system, we cover the methods for educational purposes only.
