About This Course
The course aims to strengthen cyber hygiene knowledge as the foundation for all Human Resources (HR) staff and equip HR staff with practical skills to prevent, detect and respond to cyber incidents. After completing this course, participants will be able to apply cybersecurity principles directly to HR processes and sensitive employee data.
The course is support by Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and CyberSG Talent, Innovation and Growth (TIG) Collaboration Centre under SG Cyber Associate Programme. The SG Cyber Associate Programme provides foundational and targeted cybersecurity training for non‑cybersecurity professionals, enabling them to develop cybersecurity skills relevant to their work.
