In conjunction with #RansomwareWeek, today (ISC)² announced that its popular Professional Development Institute (PDI) course titled “Ransomware: Identify, Protect, Detect, Recover,” is now free to the public through July 31, 2021. (ISC)² recognizes the intense demand for ransomware prevention and mitigation content and has opened registration to anyone who is interested in the topic.
The two-hour ransomware course is Quality Matters (QM) approved and upon successful completion, learners earn a certification of completion and digital badge. Successful course completion will also unlock a 25% discount off all PDI courses through July 31, including the All-Access Pass and the Express Bundle. There are also two related courses that are recommended for those interested in learning more about ransomware: Techniques for Malware Analysis and Navigating Cyber Insurance.
“Ransomware has become one of the hottest topics we’ve seen in years both in cybersecurity practitioner circles, boardrooms, the media and the halls of government. The intense interest has prompted us to extend free access to this course to as many people as possible in an effort to help organizations avoid becoming a victim,” said Mirtha Collin, director of education, (ISC)². “The course covers the major distinctions between ransomware and malware, the key characteristics of ransomware attacks, and the protection strategies and remediation plans that should be in place ahead of time.”
We’d love to hear your thoughts on organizational preparedness for these types of attacks. Join the ransomware discussion in the (ISC)2 Community.
