Data encryption
Date: 26th of June 2025
Time: 9:00 – 12:00
Language: English
This training course provides participants with essential knowledge and practical skills in cryptography, key management and data protection. Through real-life examples and hands-on exercises, attendees will learn how to effectively secure data at rest and in transit, ensuring comprehensive protection in the face of rapidly evolving cyber threats.
The course is designed for individuals in roles that involve access to company networks, data and devices (including those working in IT, administration, security, management and even production), with an intermediate level of IT knowledge. It is particularly relevant for professionals representing the following sectors:
- Transport sector – including companies and institutions involved in the transportation of people and goods by land, sea or air, supporting the efficient functioning of supply chains and social mobility.
- Manufacturing sector – focusing on cybersecurity challenges specific to the manufacturing industry and industrial environments.
- Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) – seeking best practices for cybersecurity tailored to organisations of this size.
The course begins with the fundamentals of encryption, introducing key concepts in cryptography and emphasising its role in modern data security. Participants will explore various types of encryption, including symmetric, asymmetric and hybrid methods, illustrated through practical examples and real-world applications.
The training then moves on to encryption key management – covering the secure generation, storage, exchange and administration of encryption keys. Building on this foundation, the course examines data protection techniques, including disk encryption to secure data at rest and the use of TLS/SSL protocols and VPNs to protect data in transit.
In the module dedicated to end-to-end encryption, participants will gain practical knowledge about secure communication – including message and email encryption – and learn best practices for maintaining privacy.
Upon completing the training, participants will be able to:
- Understand encryption principles and the importance of cryptography in data protection
- Implement encryption methods securely in workplace environments
- Use encryption tools effectively and respond to data protection incidents confidently
The training is offered as online session delivered by a trainer in real time in English on the 26th of June 2025 from 9:00 to 12:00 (CEST).
