GOOD TO KNOW
This training course includes numerous exercises (60% practical) to enhance learning. Even if you are the only one registered, the session will still take place (except in cases of force majeure). A preliminary interview is held between the participant and/or a company representative in order to fully assess the participant’s profile (level, needs, professional context, challenges, etc.).
Assessment : during the training course, the trainer assesses the participants’ progress through multiple-choice questions, role-playing exercises and practical work. Participants receive a certificate of completion at the end of the training course.
This training course is part of our Cybersecurity Training. Discover our other cybersecurity courses to strengthen your IT system protection against current threats.

FAQ – Cybersecurity Best Practices Training
What are cybersecurity best practices?
Cybersecurity best practices include strong identity and access management (MFA, least privilege), patch management, network segmentation, endpoint protection (EDR), data encryption at rest and in transit, regular backups with offline copies, security awareness training, incident response planning, and continuous monitoring with logging. They form the foundation of any defense-in-depth strategy. MFE-IT trains IT teams on implementing these practices in real organizational contexts.
How do you protect against ransomware?
Ransomware protection rests on prevention (email filtering, EDR, MFA, patching), segmentation (limit lateral movement), backups (offline / immutable / 3-2-1 rule), incident response readiness, and user training. No single control is sufficient — layered defense is essential. The MFE-IT Cybersecurity Best Practices training covers each layer with real ransomware case studies and concrete mitigation playbooks.
What is the principle of least privilege?
The principle of least privilege grants every user, process, and service only the minimum permissions needed to perform their function — nothing more. It dramatically limits the impact of compromised accounts, malware, and insider threats. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners audit and apply least-privilege patterns to Active Directory, Azure AD, file shares, and cloud roles.
What is multi-factor authentication?
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) requires users to present at least two different proofs of identity before accessing a resource — typically a password (something you know) plus a token, app code, or biometric (something you have or are). It blocks the vast majority of credential-based attacks. Our MFE-IT Cybersecurity Best Practices training covers MFA deployment patterns, phishing-resistant methods (FIDO2), and pitfalls to avoid.
