"Intermediate Data Security" Course Review

If you are new to information security, data security policies adopted by corporate firms can be confusing. You may have already heard a lot about PCI-DSS, HIPAA, etc. but still get your concepts mixed up. Whichever of these is your problem, and Cybrary is always here to help. In this "Intermediate Data Security" course, you will be able to learn data security policies, their types, rules, and regulations.

Cybrary instructor Dustin Parry has explained in-depth the concepts of data security policies in the corporate world. He will teach you the rules and regulations covered by these policies, types of data protected by them, and how they are enforced. He will also make you aware of the consequences of data breach covered by these policies. For better understanding, the instructor has included a case study of the Equifax data breach as well.

Upon completion of this course, you will earn 1 CEU/CPE and a Certificate of Completion. However, this course provides a general overview. It forms the foundation of more detailed courses like PCI-DSS: Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, HIPAA Training, and more available on Cybrary.
