Overview

"Master the six critical stages of cyber incident response—because prevention alone isn't enough."

Cyber security is the activity of securing systems, networks, and programmes from digital threats. These cyber-attacks are typically designed to gain access to, change, or delete sensitive information, extort money from users, or disrupt normal corporate activities.

In the UK, 46% of businesses reported facing cyber breaches or attacks in the last 12 months, underscoring the crucial importance of Cyber Security. As the digital realm expands, so does the frontier of threats, offering a golden opportunity for those skilled in Cyber Security. The demand for professionals in Cyber Security has surged dramatically due to the escalating threat landscape.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
