Who is the Cyber Security course for?

Whether you work in IT, have some connection to the digital field, process confidential data, or are part of a business with online exposure, this cyber security course is for you. The Cybersecurity course starts from the basic concepts and, by the end, teaches you the concrete techniques for securing online applications and businesses.

The Cybersecurity course is an asset both for IT professionals with up to 2 years of experience and for those with other types of jobs that involve processing, handling and protecting confidential data.

It is also aimed at entrepreneurs who want to scale or protect their business, as well as those working in fields with exposure in the digital environment: secretarial work, accounting, finance, payroll administration, online shop administration, and others.

What our students say

I came from a field that has nothing to do with IT: landscaping. At Informal School of IT I learned not to give up. The mentors who trained and assessed me during the course recommended that I move forward into the back-end area. That's how I discovered my passion.

How do I protect my personal data, my business or my professional activity? – this course is for you, because it will give you the answers you need.
  • Organizational security, the security of processing clients' private and confidential data, and business data security are topics that will be covered in detail, and the mentor will combine theory with examples and practical applications, so that both technical and non-technical people can absorb the information.
  • The course starts with basic notions and progresses through incrementally more complex concepts, being taught by a mentor with experience both in training and in the IT field and scientific work.
