Cybersecurity for Business Professionals 101
A practical introduction to cybersecurity risks, safe digital habits, and incident awareness for non-technical professionals.
About this course
A $25 million deepfake fraud executed from a Hong Kong office. Over 72,000 local students and staff exposed in a global platform breach. An AI model that discovers software vulnerabilities faster than any human team can patch them. None of these incidents started with a technical failure — they started with business decisions and human interaction. This 90-minute online workshop equips business professionals with the cybersecurity fundamentals that matter most: how to recognize risk, ask the right questions, and take informed action. No technical background required.
Learning objectives
- A clear understanding of how cybersecurity incidents translate into financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage — drawn from real cases in Hong Kong and the Asia-Pacific region
- The ability to identify the most common threat categories targeting your business function, whether you sit in finance, operations, HR, or leadership
- Awareness of the Critical Turning Point - how AI-driven vulnerability discovery is compressing the window organizations have to respond, and what that means for your risk posture
- The vocabulary to engage your CISO, IT team, and vendors as an informed stakeholder
Target audience
Business professionals (Banking, Finance, Insurance, manufacturing & supply chain, industrials, but also any mid-large corporations)
