Cyber Management Alliance (CMA) took their GCHQ-Certified Cyber Incident Planning and Response (CIPR) course to Switzerland on 15th December 2016, providing excellent training for a range of security and IT professionals wanting to learn more about preparing and planning for potential cyber threats.
Organisations today are experiencing security breaches to their critical data and businesses are continuing to experience external and internal cyberattacks, with the majority of companies having to deal with some form of security incident that will need a measured and immediate response. CMA’s CIPR course, which was recently awarded GCHQ Certification, is the perfect platform to learn how to prepare a managed and defined approach in response to a cyberattack or security threat.
Bal Rai, Managing Director at Cyber Management Alliance, commented "The course is proving popular in Switzerland with four more already scheduled for 2017."
Attendees to the CIPR training course in Switzerland included the Swiss National Bank, Repubblica e Cantone Ticino (a government entity), Zurich Kantonal Bank, die Mobiliar, Liechtensteinische Landesbank AG, Thurgauer Kantonalbank and UBS Card Centre.
Jonathan Cattaue from Repubblica e Cantone Ticino, was impressed with the CIPR course:
“Very prepared presenter. You could ask anything. Very controlled timing – very good. Great documentation tailored for a one-day course.”
Michele Corletto from Zurich Kantonal Bank, said of the CIPR course:
“The understanding of the Cyber Kill Chain is an excellent base for developing counter measures.”
Further comments on the CIPR training included:
“Thank you for this excellent workshop. The expectation was exceeded, especially the examples from incidents and hits.” UBS.
“Brilliant course with lots of good examples. A course to recommend to any incident response team.” Swiss National Bank
