This two-day course helps participants see IT systems through the eyes of attackers, while applying the discipline of auditors. Participants will learn how hackers map systems, identify weaknesses, and exploit vulnerabilities. The course then connects these insights with risk-based auditing techniques to translate technical risks into clear, business-focused findings. Using case studies, hands-on activities, and group discussions, learners will practice thinking like a hacker while acting like an auditor.
Objective
- Understand attacker motivations, methods, and techniques.
- Learn to identify vulnerabilities and red flags in IT systems.
- Apply threat mapping and risk-spotting techniques during audits.
- Translate technical weaknesses into clear, actionable audit findings.
- Gain experience through case studies and simulated audit exercises.
- Strengthen confidence in reporting risks to both technical and business audiences.
Outline
- Thinking Like a Hacker: Attacker mindset and motivations
- Threat Mapping: Understanding attack surfaces and weak points
- Risk Spotting: Identifying vulnerabilities and prioritizing risks
- Auditing Techniques: Linking risks to standards and frameworks

Methodology
These courses are built around the idea of learning by seeing and doing. Participants won’t just hear about audit steps or security frameworks, they will walk through them like real auditors.
By the end, participants feel confident not just in understanding risks, but in explaining them clearly to business leaders.
- Practical Explanations: Core audit and cybersecurity concepts are explained in plain words, without jargon.
- Real-world scenarios: We use real incidents and breaches to show how risks are found and how controls fail.
- Hands-On Audit Exercises: Participants practice spotting vulnerabilities, mapping risks, and writing findings.
- Open Discussions: Sharing experiences and challenges so learning connects directly to workplace realities.
By the end, participants feel confident not just in understanding risks, but in explaining them clearly to business leaders.
