IBM: Cybersecurity Compliance and Framework

Beginner 14 hours English Verified CertificateFREE

About this course

This course covers cybersecurity principles, industry standards, regulations, and audit processes: governance, risk, and compliance (GRC); the NIST Cybersecurity Framework; IT service management via ITIL; cybersecurity laws including HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS; and audit processes using the COBIT framework and SOC reports, plus standards like OWASP, ISO, and IEEE. It also covers AI ethics considerations including the EU AI Act.

The honest take: the instructor listed on the page is the generic 'IBM' organizational profile rather than a named individual, with no bio provided — unusual compared to IBM's other edX courses, which typically feature a named instructor like Rav Ahuja. The content itself is thorough and compliance-focused, useful for anyone moving into GRC or security audit roles.
