About Course

In today’s digital world, cyber threats are smarter—and so should we be! Cybersecurity: Using Data Science as a Game Changer introduces you to how data science tools can help detect, prevent, and respond to cyber attacks. This course breaks down complex topics like threat analytics, pattern detection, and predictive modeling into simple, real-world examples. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills, this course will help you understand how big data and smart algorithms are revolutionizing cybersecurity and keeping our digital spaces safe. No coding background? No problem—just bring your curiosity!

Course Overview

The global cybersecurity landscape is expanding and changing rapidly. Organizations large and small are responding to heightened risk as traditional security methods give way to the emergence of real-time identity authentication methods.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the cybersecurity market is expected to be worth $352.25 billion by 2026, with an annual growth rate of 14.5%. Accenture polling indicates that 68% of business leaders feel their cybersecurity risks are increasing

However, the low level of existing protection may be even more concerning—on average, only 5% of companies are properly protected (Varonis). A key element in the cybersecurity toolbox is the strategic understanding of the role of data science in increasing cybersecurity resiliency at an enterprise level. Leaders can harness data science methods to manage cyber risk to improve and, in some cases, create new control capabilities to achieve cybersecurity resilience.

Course Objective

The objectives of this course are as follows:

  • Learn how to improve your organizations’ preparedness and response against cyberattacks and grow your careers as leaders in robust cybersecurity strategies.
  • Gain an overall understanding of how data science and cybersecurity work together to create quality data inputs that result in effective key performance indicators (KPIs).
  • Learn how using data science methods enhances the resilience of cybersecurity at the enterprise level.
  • Learn to collaborate with cybersecurity and data science professionals to create new control capabilities to achieve cybersecurity resilience.
  • Learn how to hire and develop talent in these practices at the enterprise level.
