Cybersecurity management is the management of risk, specifically the risks to information assets assessed by an organization. This course explores the role of governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) as part of the cybersecurity governance process, including key planning, policy, and technology administration functions to support the protection of critical information assets. The course will give you an insight into current laws and regulations such as GDPR, ISO / IEC 27002, PCI DSS, CIIP, HIPPA. Understanding the basics of implementing a risk management strategy will help manage policies, create controls, and measure the effectiveness of controls. In this course, you will learn how to customize processes to ensure compliance with the norms of behavior in your organization, including risk analysis, ensuring a systematic culture of documentation, review, audits, remediation, control, accountability and authority.

The module covers various aspects of cybersecurity and cyber resilience of mobile and telecommunication networks, financial institutions and industrial systems.

In today’s world, where development becomes faster, and companies are rushing their products to the market, it is crucial to apply security practices as early as possible. Software developers must understand security concepts, and cybersecurity engineers should adjust their practices to agile environments. The course covers the modern approach to secure coding from both the development and security point of view.

Security goals cannot be addressed by technical means alone. Significant aspect of protection comes down to the awareness, behaviour and capabilities of the people involved. In this course we will discuss different aspects of information security culture such as user acceptance of security policies and technologies, usable security, social engineering and other human-related risks to help to prepare and execute efficient cybersecurity program.

The aim of the course is a deep immersion in various aspects of the security of modern mobile technologies. The course consists of two main parts.

The course is intended to be a full-size course covering the Python programming language. We are going to cover basic constructions of the language, the design principles of the language, how different syntax sugar in the language works, how to work with lazy computations and what do you need to know to write production code in Python. The course is intended for the people who already had an introductory course on Python or familiar with one of the other programming languages like Java or C++.

The objective of the Operating Systems course is to familiarise students with the basic organising principles and technologies used in modern computing platforms (the operating systems together with the computer hardware), as well as their place and role in the IT field. The course will offer ample practical exercises to strengthen the understanding of core topics and to prepare students to advance their knowledge of the modern means of parallel and distributed processes for their effective application in scientific research and computing.

This is an introductory course on computer networking, specifically the Internet. It focuses on modern network protocols, ranging from low-level protocols such as Ethernet to application protocols based on HTTP. The course also grounds many of the concepts currently used in practice, such as DNS security, dynamic routing, or load balancing.

The course gives a thorough overview of modern web development approaches, techniques, and architecture patterns. Topics cover frontend and backend development, as well as backing services like databases, queues and object storage, and infrastructure services like load-balancers and monitoring tools. The course doesn’t focus on any certain language or framework, but python will be used for code examples and exercises.

This is an introductory course on Cyber Security covering core domains required in day-by-day security practice. It focuses on network, host and application security and modern challenges such as APT and Critical Infrastructure Protection. The course provides both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

Elite training by industry experts shows in a realistic and applied way how to get the most from threat intelligence. Attendees will learn how to collect, analyze and use threat intelligence-related data, tools and frameworks. This works well to boost existing teams with leading Threat Intelligence practices, tools and methodologies.

Developed to enhance leadership teams’ ability to make effective decisions to reduce further risk and damage in the heat of a data breach, this course encourages delegates to establish an incident communication plan based on their own organization’s leadership style and security programme maturity. You’ll put your plan into action from incident discovery to resolution with in-depth scenario-based learning based on real-world cases.

Creativity is the engine of the 21st century. The contemporary world is full of ideas, concepts, products, and people trying to find their way through this maze. Every start-up has to have not only the idea and (future) product but first of all the story to tell both to the potential investors as well as users, now and future, which brings us to the necessity of creativity and storytelling. Whatever you do, you have to have a story. Another intent of this course is bringing together people of different backgrounds and knowledge, to engage them in working towards a common goal in a new way – through writing a piece of fiction and performing it. Uniting those two fields gives students the possibility to try out their abilities in a safe environment as well as cooperate with other students, bringing in new viewpoints and experiences. This is one of the best ways of establishing teams that have innovation at their core.

This course is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills to cultivate long-lasting leadership influence and make a meaningful impact, even in the face of change, crises, and criticism. While technical or "hard" skills may secure high-potential individuals top positions, this course focuses on the development of "real skills" that enable leaders to build, sustain, and thrive in their leadership roles. The course will empower future leaders with the transformative Three Pillars of Leadership: Awareness, Behavior, and Visibility to take their leadership to the next level.

Students will learn how to transform an idea into software requirements through user research, prototyping, and usability tests, and then they will proceed to launch the MVP version of the product. The students will apply an iterative, data-driven approach to developing a product, integrate event analytics, and run controlled experiments.

Building great tech requires more than great product knowledge and management - it requires a deep understanding of Agile ways of working. “Being agile” is so much more than dev team practices, it is being mentally flexible and highly adaptable to constant change. In this class, students will learn how to navigate the jargon and use agile concepts to achieve terrific results with teams and organizations. In addition to learning about the frameworks scrum and kanban, we will review the philosophical principles behind why these frameworks can be useful, how to modify or recombine them, and how to be sensitive to the human psychology that makes it all work. Through a combination of lectures, small-group work, learning games, workshops, and projects (both structured and self-directed), students will learn to avoid the pitfalls and leverage Agile for their product and business success.
