Course details

When you allow third-party vendors access to your network and data, their vulnerabilities can very quickly become your vulnerabilities, especially in the event of a cyberattack. In this course, instructor Nicole Dove gives you the tools you need to protect your organization and prevent one of the most common attack strategies: supply chain attacks.

Learn about different types of cybercrime and the key elements of a supply chain attack strategy. Find out why so many businesses, government agencies, and consumers stand to be affected by such a threat. Explore tried-and-tested mitigation strategies and cybersecurity frameworks that you can use, as well as best practices for implementation and ongoing management with your team, including third-party analysis, penetration testing, incident response planning, and more. Why wait for something bad to happen when you can get better protected now?
