Cybersecurity Training from New Horizons

As more and more confidential information is stored and processed electronically, the risk of unauthorized access is on the rise. Data breaches and attacks make protection critical. At New Horizons, our information security training programs are designed to ensure your organization is at a significantly reduced risk of an information breach and also minimizes negative impacts should a breach occur. Information Security courses and certification are primarily created by vendor-neutral vendors such as CompTIA, (ISC)² and EC-Council. These organizations are committed to setting strict security standards that any organization can implement. Earning certifications from these vendor-neutral organizations is an ideal way to prove your skill and knowledge to your employer.

Although in many contexts, the terms "information security", and "cybersecurity" are used interchangeably, cybersecurity specifically refers to protecting digital data from online threats. Cybersecurity analysts play a pivotal role in identifying significant data, understanding potential risks, and employing tools and methods to shield it from cyber threats. Their focus is narrower yet highly specialized, dealing with the complexities of digital data security.

New Horizons offers information security / cybersecurity training and certification from the following vendors:

• Cisco
• CompTIA
• EC-Council
• ISACA
• (ISC)²
• Microsoft
