In mid-2025, researchers uncovered what’s being called the largest data breach in history. About 16 billion login credentials were exposed from major platforms like Google, Facebook, Apple, and more, many harvested through infostealer malware. This breach potentially includes two compromised accounts for every person on the planet, which is a stark reminder that the risk is global and personal.

In today’s digital age, the importance of safeguarding personal and sensitive information cannot be overstated. This course is designed to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of the principles of data privacy and protection.

Throughout the course, we will explore how to identify potential risks to data security, and we will delve into effective strategies for responding to breaches when they occur. Additionally, you will learn how to construct a robust data protection strategy tailored to meet the unique needs of your organisation.

Join us as we build a safer and more secure approach to managing data privacy!
