Why is IT security so important?

Digitization and the widespread application of IT offer tremendous benefits, leading to an efficient organization that continuously develops and innovates. At the same time, new threats are emerging as everything and everyone is connected through the Internet.

The disciplines of cybersecurity and information security make it tougher for cyber-criminals to access your systems or information. How? By making cybersecurity top-of-mind among developers, for example, and ensuring that security measures are already included in software development. 

What is the role of an IT security expert in an organization?

IT security is a discipline that focuses on protecting corporate resources. This includes computers, networks, data, systems and information, among other things. The profession can be roughly subdivided into two main areas: cybersecurity and information security.

Information security is aimed at the processes and tools that are developed and implemented to protect sensitive corporate information. This includes protection against unauthorized changes, disruptions, destruction or unauthorized access. As an information security specialist, you provide advisory and control these types of things. 

Cybersecurity centers on protecting systems, networks and programs against digital attacks from outside. Examples of these are DDOS attacks, ransomware and malware. As a cybersecurity specialist, you are versed in securing systems against such threats and know how to act when an attack nonetheless does succeed. 

Why take a security training course?

IT security is an important and complex profession. Technological developments advance rapidly, just as do laws and regulations. With Capgemini’s IT security training courses, your knowledge is completely up-to-date.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, you also gain practical knowledge. You develop the skills to create and implement a solid IT security policy. You also gain insight into the influence of current laws and regulations. You learn how to stay on top of all the changes and how to inform your colleagues of these. 

There are also specific training courses that teach you how to prepare your organization for (ISO) audits.

IT security in-depth

At a higher level of abstraction than everyday tasks, information security is all about ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information through processes and technologies. Both disciplines, cybersecurity and information security, require continuous attention to risk management, compliance with laws and regulations, and the development of a robust security strategy.
