Course Description
In this course, Session and Risk Management: Security Metrics, you’ll learn how session activity affects cybersecurity and what tools help detect threats early. You’ll also explore metrics, analytics, and audit practices that support stronger session control.
Session management plays a central role in protecting user access and sensitive data. When sessions aren’t tracked or terminated properly, organizations face increased risk of breaches, policy violations, and compliance failures. That’s why it’s critical to detect threats, monitor usage, and understand what normal session behavior looks like.
You’ll explore key performance indicators such as session duration, failed login rates, and token usage. You’ll learn how to apply AI, behavior analytics, and machine learning to monitor session data in real time. The course also covers how to identify vulnerabilities, prioritize threats, and align with major compliance standards.
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to use session metrics to reduce risk, improve detection, and support audit-ready system security.
