Cyber Guru NIS2

Level II of the NIS2 course addresses digital protection challenges by combining governance, advanced technologies and cyber risk awareness. It aims to provide skills to manage cyber threats through governance strategies, use of Artificial Intelligence, and real-world case analysis with a focus on regulations, risk management, and attack techniques to strengthen business resilience. The goal of the course is to increase security awareness and create an effective security culture against evolving cyber threats.

SECTION I – INTEGRATED CYBER SECURITY

LESSON 1 – SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY
Supply chain security is crucial in cyber risk, as emphasized by NIS2 and security frameworks. Supply chain management requires cybersecurity involvement already in partner selection and a strategy that includes pre-testing, vulnerability analysis, and penetration testing prior to integration. Contracts and NDAs must formalize security requirements and provide for ongoing audits.

SECTION I – INTEGRATED CYBER SECURITY

LESSON 2 – THE DIGITAL IDENTITY
Digital Identity is the new security perimeter for organizations, and the Zero Trust approach ensures secure access by authenticating and authorizing every operation according to the principles of least privilege and need-to-know, preventing risks related to technology layering and excessive permissions. Key tools such as Directory Service for identity management, IAM for application permissions, PAM for administrative access, and Conditional Access.

SECTION I – INTEGRATED CYBER SECURITY

LESSON 3 – SECURITY BY DESIGN
The principle of Security by Design requires that security be integrated from the design phase of software, infrastructure and processes, safeguarding confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of data. This rigorous and disciplined approach is essential to reduce cyber risks and the cost of subsequent interventions, applying to every phase from conception to delivery, including context and risk analysis, definition of security requirements, and treatment and acceptance of residual risk.

SECTION II – FROM GOVERNANCE TO AI

LESSON 1 – THE PEOPLE.
Managing cyber risk requires not only technological solutions, but also governance and people involvement. The Cybersecurity Governance Framework, consisting of guidelines, policies and procedures, organizes rules to protect data and infrastructure. However, inappropriate behavior can undermine security investments.

SECTION II – FROM GOVERNANCE TO AI

LESSON 2 – THE CLOUD
In the past, cloud strategy aimed to reduce costs by divesting data centers, but technological and economic complexity has made this approach obsolete. Today, with digital transformation, the cloud is indispensable to ensure speed and flexibility. Companies are adopting a “Cloud Economy” based on modular and reusable components, adapting to time to market and designing agile and temporary services.

SECTION II – FROM GOVERNANCE TO AI

LESSON 3 – AI AND CYBERSECURITY
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing cybersecurity, with Machine Learning and language modeling (LLM) tools that analyze large volumes of data, reduce false positives, and support activities such as security control selection, policy writing, and regulatory navigation. AI agents can complement or replace first-level teams in Security Operation Centers, accelerating threat response, and improve Threat Intelligence to prevent attacks.

SECTION III – CYBER CASES

LESSON 1 – DEEPFAKE AND MANIPULATION
An ultra-realistic deepfake of the CEO appears in a video, announcing a fake acquisition. The company’s stock plummets and the Board is forced to take swift action.

SECTION III – CYBER CASES

LESSON 2 – ATTACK ON PERSONAL DEVICES
A board member accesses the corporate network from his outdated personal tablet. Malware infiltrates systems, allowing hackers to spy on strategic meetings.

SECTION III – CYBER CASES

LESSON 3 – TARGETED PHISHING
A Board member receives a well-structured email, apparently from a strategic partner, with an infected attachment. Upon opening the file, hackers gain access to confidential Board documents.

SECTION III – CYBER CASES

LESSON 4 – INSIDER THREAT
A senior executive begins to behave suspiciously. Shortly thereafter, he is found to have exfiltrated sensitive data on business strategies and sold it to a competitor or hostile state actor. The company suffers serious competitive damage and risks legal repercussions.

SECTION IV – SECURITY AWARENESS

LESSON 1 – ADVANCED SPEAR PHISHING

Spear Phishing is an advanced cyber attack technique that targets specific people with highly personalized emails or messages. Hackers gather information about victims from social media, websites, or data breaches, making the communications extremely credible. The goal is to induce the target to click on malicious links, download malware, or provide confidential credentials.
SECTION IV – SECURITY AWARENESS

LESSON 2 – AI AND DATA PROTECTION

Artificial Intelligence is transforming data management and protection, but it also raises crucial privacy and security challenges. AI algorithms analyze huge volumes of information, optimizing cybersecurity with advanced threat detection, reduction of false positives, and automation of attack response.
SECTION IV – SECURITY AWARENESS

LESSON 3 – SOCIAL ENGINEERING

Social Engineering is an attack technique that uses psychological manipulation to gain access to confidential information, business systems, or sensitive resources. Hackers do not attack technology directly, but infiltrate organizations by exploiting employees’ trust, inattention, or psychological pressure…
SECTION IV – SECURITY AWARENESS

LESSON 4 – BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD)

BYOD allows personal devices to be used to access corporate networks and data, improving flexibility and productivity. However, this practice introduces significant cybersecurity risks, as personal laptops, smartphones and tablets often fail to meet corporate security standards. Without proper controls, BYOD can expose the company to malware, data theft and unauthorized access.
SECTION IV – SECURITY AWARENESS

LESSON 5 – AUTHENTICATION
Authentication systems protect access to networks, data and business applications, ensuring that only authorized users can operate. Traditional password-based methods are increasingly vulnerable to phishing, brute force and credential stuffing, making a more secure approach necessary.

SECTION IV – SECURITY AWARENESS

LESSON 6 – ADVERSARIAL ATTACK

Adversarial Attacks are sophisticated attacks that manipulate Artificial Intelligence (AI) models by inputting deceptive data to alter their behavior. These attacks exploit vulnerabilities in Machine Learning algorithms, inducing errors in facial recognition, threat analysis, or automated cybersecurity systems.
