The Cybersecurity Threat Landscape
Completing this LinkedIn course by Marc Menninger provided me with a deeper understanding of the evolving cybersecurity threats that organizations face today. I learned about various attack methods, such as phishing, ransomware, deepfakes, and business email compromise, and how these threats exploit vulnerabilities in both technology and human behavior. Becasue the content of the course was updated on September 2024 i learned more about the increasing risk posed by unmanaged IoT devices and the importance of proactive security measures.
This knowledge is highly relevant to my coursework in Management Information Systems (MIS), as cybersecurity is a critical aspect of managing IT systems effectively. Understanding these threats will help me analyze security risks in business environments and implement best practices for mitigating them.
