By the end of this course, leaner will be able to:
- Identify, assess, respond to, and protect against security threats.
- Operate a system and network security analysis platform.
- Assess cybersecurity risks and mitigate them.
- Analyze various threats affecting security posture.
- Respond to cybersecurity incidents using containment, mitigation, and recovery tactics.
Prerequisites
- At least two years of experience in computer network security or related field.
- Ability to recognize information security vulnerabilities and threats.
- Foundational knowledge of network and computing environments.
- Foundation-level skills with common operating systems and network protocols.
