You must inspire a commitment to security rather than merely describing it
The growth of hacking and phishing (the fraudulent practice of sending emails purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers) across the internet requires well trained and tested professionals. The Level 3 Diploma in Information Security is designed to provide the knowledge and skills for dealing with cyber security issues and how to work with others to combat them.
Information Security is also offered as a Higher Level 4 Apprenticeship. For those who will be responsible for ensuring their organisation is prepared to combat cyber security issues and provides the knowledge and ability to assess security risks, conduct information security audits and contribute to the risk management as part of an information security strategy.
