This foundational program is the first in the DVMS Professional® training series, preparing participants to understand digital business risk and the shared responsibility of protecting organisational value. Key takeaways include; Digital evolution is both an opportunity and a source of risk. Cybersecurity must be reframed as a business enabler.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to: Explain what it means to “become digital” and how digital evolution increases risk. Recognise the components of cyber risk—threats, vulnerabilities, assets, and controls. Understand the basics of risk assessment and the role of frameworks like NIST CSF.
