About
Cybersecurity risk is no longer a purely technical issue. It directly impacts national security, economic stability, and public trust. Yet many policymakers and institutional leaders are required to make decisions without a clear, practical understanding of how foundational cybersecurity controls operate in real environments. This course provides an applied, decision-focused introduction to cybersecurity hygiene and risk fundamentals. Designed for policymakers and non-technical leaders, it translates core security practices into actionable governance, oversight, and policy decisions. Rather than focusing on theory, the course is structured around functional areas that leaders must evaluate, oversee, and prioritize within their institutions. Participants will walk through real-world scenarios, identify gaps, and apply simple frameworks to assess and improve cybersecurity posture. Course Details: • Duration: 3–4 weeks (12–16 total hours) • Format: Fully online, asynchronous • Structure: Short, applied modules with practical exercises • Outcome: Cyber Hygiene Assessment Brief with prioritized actions
