Security at Work: Policies, Risk and Incidents

beginner 45 min 3 tasks

How organisations run security: the rules they write, how they weigh risk, what happens during an incident, and who does which job.

By the end of this lesson you can explain what a security policy is, describe risk as likelihood and impact, name the three kinds of control, list the steps of incident response, know who to tell when something goes wrong, and match the main security roles to what they do. This lesson has no lab and no commands: it zooms out from single machines to the way a whole organisation runs security, and every answer is in the text.
