The program, module by module
Module 1 — Specific security challenges
Understand why security for a public institution or a media outlet is about continuity of service and public trust, not just financial loss.
Module 2 — Personal data protection and compliance
Map the personal data collected — what, where, who accesses it, for how long — before applying minimization and limited retention.
Module 3 — Securing broadcast and streaming infrastructure
Secure an exposed streaming feed — default credentials, access keys, network segregation — by ranking the flaws in order of priority.
Module 4 — Access and authorization management
Build an access matrix applying the least-privilege principle, to prevent the privilege drift that builds up across job changes.
Module 5 — Cyberthreats targeting media
Analyze a media social-account hijacking and the defenses that would have limited it: two-factor authentication, a recovery procedure, active monitoring.
Module 6 — Business continuity planning
Write a continuity plan for one essential activity: maximum acceptable downtime, a degraded-mode fallback, and a drill to test it actually holds.
Module 7 — Staff awareness
Design a phishing-awareness workshop built on a real fake email, without a blame culture that pushes agents to hide their mistakes.
Module 8 — Real-world case study
Dissect a real fraudulent wire transfer to identify the stack of human, access, and procedural failures that made it possible.
Module 9 — Professional Integration and Certification
CertificationCross-cutting module: CV/portfolio, professional brand, interview practice, and job market activation — specific to this course's real career outcomes. Triggers generation of the final certificate.

Three levels, from simplest to most demanding. Each one only claims what it actually verifies.
Attendance certificate
Earned by: Modules followed
Proves: You followed the track — no graded assessment.
Certificate of achievement
Earned by: Full track completed on the platform, final project included, and final exam passed
Proves: Your knowledge and your final project, evaluated by the platform.
Field Practice Validated distinction
Earned by: A field challenge completed after the exam, in a real situation, with evidence
Proves: A CoursTech mentor reviewed and validated a genuine real-world application.
The distinction is added to your certificate of achievement — it never replaces it: nothing off-platform ever blocks the certificate itself.
Mentor support and validation: handled on request, within 72 business hours. If no mentor is active, the distinction stays open for 12 months as planned: no learner is penalized.
Mentor sessions: limited spots, on request. Reply within 48 h.
