Course Description
In this course, Session and Risk Management: Protecting Data in Motion, you’ll learn how to secure data in transit using strong session controls, access rules, and encryption. You’ll also learn how to identify threats and apply best practices for risk assessments and incident response.
Whenever you start a session on a website, it comes with certain protections. But there are ways to mishandle a session, and companies need strong session management practices if they want to guard their sensitive data. We’ll explore how it works, what makes it vulnerable, and how to protect it from hijacking or misuse. You’ll also study how data in motion can be intercepted and what tools like VPNs and multi-factor authentication do to stop it. You’ll gain practical skills to assess system weaknesses and plan responses to protect data across networks.
We’ll also show you how compliance standards can guide secure transmission practices. You’ll learn how to evaluate session activity logs for unusual behavior. And you’ll develop strategies that support consistent, secure communication across your whole organization.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to apply key techniques that help you secure and manage data in motion across your organization.
