The internet and the web offer many benefits, but they also create opportunities for criminal activities. Many individuals and companies face challenges in safeguarding their information and networks, as well as protecting themselves from potential attacks and hacks. To address these concerns, The British Academy For Training and Development has established a course focused on internet security. In today's world, information security impacts everyone, whether at home, work, or in daily life.

This course will educate you on how to avoid the dangers of the internet by equipping you with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions.
