IT security has long ceased to be a specialist topic for a few experts. Phishing, ransomware and attacks on cloud services affect companies of all sizes, and requirements from regulators and customers are constantly increasing. Anyone who operates systems or is responsible for data needs a solid understanding of threats, protective measures and incident response.
Our Security course programme ranges from basic knowledge for users to recognised certifications such as CompTIA Security+, the EC-Council programmes and topics relating to data protection and the GDPR. You learn to identify vulnerabilities, secure networks and endpoints, analyse incidents and enforce security policies in day-to-day operations – practically and with exercises based on realistic scenarios.
(ISC)² is one of the most internationally recognised bodies for information security certifications. Its exams rely less on tool knowledge than on a broad understanding of security architecture, risk management and governance – and generally require several years of professional experience.
Our (ISC)² courses provide structured preparation for the respective exam. You work through the relevant domains, place security measures in their overall context and use sample questions to practise the way of thinking expected in these exams. The courses are aimed at experienced IT and information security professionals.
The Certified Information Systems Security Professional from (ISC)² is regarded as the most demanding broad-based certification in information security. It does not test the use of individual tools but an understanding of security architecture, risk and governance across eight domains.
In our CISSP courses you work through these domains in a structured way – from security and risk management through architecture, networks and identity management to operations and software development. You practise with sample questions and get to know the perspective from which (ISC)² asks its questions.
The EC-Council is one of the best-known certification bodies in the field of offensive IT security. The underlying idea: if you want to protect systems effectively, you need to know how attackers operate – from reconnaissance and exploiting vulnerabilities to covering their tracks.
In our EC-Council courses you work on realistic attack scenarios in secure lab environments and derive concrete protective measures from them. The courses prepare you specifically for the respective certification exam and are aimed at professionals with solid network and systems knowledge.
ISACA certifications are aimed at professionals who not only run IT but also audit, govern and secure it. The focus is on governance, audit, risk management and compliance – in other words, whether IT delivers what the organisation expects of it, and whether this can be demonstrated.
Our ISACA courses guide you through the required domains and prepare you specifically for the exam. You look at control objectives and audit procedures, the assessment of risks and the interplay between IT goals and business goals. The courses are aimed at professionals with relevant work experience.
Anyone who processes personal data operates within a firm legal framework. The European General Data Protection Regulation requires traceable processes – from informing data subjects and retention and deletion periods to reporting personal data breaches. For Swiss companies, the revised Federal Act on Data Protection also applies.
In our privacy and GDPR courses you learn the basic principles and your obligations in the workplace. You look at records of processing activities, legal bases and processing by processors, assess risks and practise handling access requests and data breaches. The focus is on practical implementation in everyday work.
CompTIA Security+ is the common entry point into IT security: vendor-neutral, practical and named as a basic qualification in many job advertisements. The exam covers a broad range of topics without requiring deep specialisation.
In our Security+ courses you work through the exam domains systematically. You look at threats and types of attack, the architecture and hardening of systems and networks, identity and access management, as well as operations, incident response and governance. Practice questions accompany the course.
