Strengthening Cybersecurity is a hands-on, non-technical program designed to help you make your organization more cyber-resilient. You will learn from a former hacker, security industry experts and ESMT faculty, gaining insights into real-world threats and best practices.
The program explores how data protection regulations, AI, and IoT are shaping the future of cybersecurity, helping you develop a governance strategy that keeps your organization secure.
What sets this program apart is its immersive, experiential learning approach. You will not just study cybersecurity—you will live it. Through a dynamic cyberattack simulation, you will experience firsthand how threats unfold and learn how to respond effectively. This practical exercise, combined with expert-led workshops and real-world case studies, ensures you leave with a concrete, actionable cybersecurity strategy tailored to your needs.
The course runs for 5 weeks, with a manageable time commitment of around 4 hours per week. The learning experience is primarily built around live, cohort-based sessions delivered in high-impact formats - designed to fit into even the busiest schedules. These are complemented by light self-paced individual work, allowing you to engage with the material at your own rhythm and reinforce the learnings from the live sessions.
