With the countless updates and news on security breaches, malwares attacks and hackers, it is becoming extremely important for people and organisations to be educated and aware of the threats, consequences and how it will impact them. According to CNBC, they estimated these breaches has cost those affected a whopping US$600 million to date. Each and every organisation should beef up on their Network security by educating their people.

“Network security is the process of taking physical and software preventative measures to protect the underlying networking infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse, malfunction, modification, destruction, or improper disclosure, thereby creating a secure platform for computers, users and programs to perform their permitted critical functions within a secure environment,” according to SANS Institute, an information security training expert.

ELITC recognises the importance of providing such training for security experts to attain their Certificate of Proficiency in Network Security to combat network infiltrations and hackers. -
