WHY LEARN CYBER SECURITY?

Still recall the high profile SingHealth cyber attack in July 2018? What about the MINDEF data breach in February 2017? Today, cyber criminals have become increasingly sophisticated and organised in their efforts of gaining unauthorised access to cyber resources. Some of them do so for financial gain, others for the recognition, some even simply for the thrill. Regardless of the cyber criminal’s intent, the Singapore government is placing greater emphasis on Cyber Security in organisations, be it SMEs, or even large enterprises. All these are administered through stricter PDPA guidelines, where infringements could bring about heavy penalties between four to six figures.

Implementing a tailored Cyber Security strategy is the best way for businesses to secure their cyber resources, and play within the increasingly stricter guidelines on personal data protection. As they say in Cyber Security, “your security is only as strong as your weakest link”. A strong cyber security foundation in the entire organisation, is bound to not only allow organisations to avoid penalties, but also to bring about greater confidence from prospective customers.

As stated by the IMDA, Singapore has been seeing an increasing need for skilled programmers in the tech industry and will be lacking about 30,000 technology experts by 2020.

The instructors are highly knowledgeable to be able to bring across new concepts as well as to explain the practicality of the concepts in the workforce! The atmosphere was also very conducive with meals and drinks being offered.

Overall, it was a blast and I'm glad to have signed up for it!

The environment was really conducive for learning: spacious, with all the necessary amenities. Besides that, the instructor was very passionate, and was well-prepared for class with in-class worksheets to guide. During the lesson there were also teaching assistants who went around the room to provide guidance when help was needed. The TAs contactable via telegram chat should you require any assistance with your homework.

Excellent course where instructors are both knowledgeable and passionate. There are teaching assistants walking around to assist you in your learning and are more than willing to go out of their way to help you in other languages as well should you need the help. Helpful, friendly and approachable are the traits that they possess and have made the learning journey for us students so much easier and more fun as well!
