AI for ICT Risk and Security Management in the Public Sector Professional Certificate Programme

Strengthening ICT Risk Governance, Cyber Resilience and Intelligent Security Management Through Artificial Intelligence

Overview

About this course

As governments continue to digitise public services and modernise ICT infrastructure, managing technology risks and safeguarding information assets have become critical priorities. Public sector organisations face increasing threats from cyberattacks, data breaches, system failures, operational disruptions, regulatory compliance challenges, and emerging technology risks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how organisations identify, assess, monitor, mitigate, and respond to these risks.

The Seya Capital AI for ICT Risk and Security Management in the Public Sector Professional Certificate Programme equips ICT professionals, risk managers, cybersecurity practitioners, auditors, compliance officers, and public sector leaders with the knowledge, frameworks, tools, and practical skills required to leverage AI in managing ICT risks and strengthening organisational security.

The programme covers AI-powered risk intelligence, cybersecurity risk management, ICT governance, threat analytics, security monitoring, compliance management, operational resilience, risk automation, data protection, business continuity, and emerging technologies in ICT risk and security management.

Participants will gain practical insights into how AI can enhance risk detection, strengthen security controls, improve governance oversight, and support resilient digital government operations.
