Cybersecurity involves a broad range of activities, technologies, and processes to protect digital information, networks, and computer systems from unauthorized access, theft, damage, disruption, or other malicious activities. Here are some key aspects of cybersecurity:
1. Vulnerability Management
Identifying, classifying, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities in software, hardware, and networks.
2. Threat Intelligence
Collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information about potential threats to anticipate and prepare for attacks.
3. Data Security
Protecting sensitive data, including personal identifiable information (PII), financial data, and intellectual property, from unauthorized access, theft, or damage.
4. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
Monitoring and analyzing security-related data from various sources to detect and respond to security incidents.
Basic understanding of computer systems and networking concepts
Familiarity with operating systems (Windows, Linux, macOS)
Basic knowledge of internet and web technologies
Develop a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity, its importance in the digital age, and key concepts and terminology.
Gain insights into various cyber threats and attacks, and understand the ethical and legal considerations in cybersecurity.
Acquire knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks to guide security practices and policies.
Learn network security fundamentals, including the types of network attacks, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), virtual private networks (VPNs), and best practices for securing wireless networks.
Understand operating system security for Windows, Linux, and macOS, covering user authentication, access control, patch management, file system security, endpoint security, and mobile device security.
Explore cryptography and encryption, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, public key infrastructure (PKI), digital signatures, certificates, cryptographic protocols (SSL/TLS, SSH), and defense against cryptanalysis.
Delve into web application security, addressing common vulnerabilities, SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), session management, authentication, Web Application Firewalls (WAF), and best practices.
Understand cybersecurity management, including the development of security policies and procedures, incident response and handling, risk management and assessment, security awareness and training, compliance with legal requirements, and awareness of emerging trends in cybersecurity.
Apply acquired skills and knowledge to a final project that demonstrates the ability to analyze and address cybersecurity challenges, incorporating elements from various modules in the course.
