A Layered Approach to Identity & Data Security

Modern cybersecurity demands more than reactive defenses. A Layered Approach to Identity & Data Security equips today’s cybersecurity and GRC professionals with a practical, unified strategy for protecting critical assets amid rapid data growth, expanding regulations, and increasingly sophisticated ransomware threats.

Through a structured series of video lessons, the course introduces a three‑pillar security framework—Identity, Data, and Infrastructure—and shows how attackers exploit each layer to gain access, target sensitive information, and move laterally across environments. Learners explore real‑world breaches, the rise of Ransomware‑as‑a‑Service, and the full ransomware attack chain to understand how to disrupt threats earlier and strengthen organizational resilience.

Led by Dan McLaughlin, Solutions Engineering Team Lead at Netwrix, the program blends technical depth with real implementation insights.
