Cyber security applies technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from cyberattacks. It reduces the risk of cyberattacks and protects against the unauthorized exploitation of systems, networks, and technologies.
The first section covers the terminologies and the trinity of IT security and computer protocols. In the second section, we explore the hackers’ world and the methodology. We will look at the different hackers and how they hack. In the next section, the various ways cyber criminals and hackers attack systems and networks are discussed, and you will learn about the popular attack forms, such as phishing, brute force attack, DoS/DDoS attacks, and Bots/Botnets.
We will then explore malware and the various malware, such as viruses, worms, and trojans, and how they differ. You will then learn about cybersecurity professional methods to protect systems and networks from cyberattacks and how antiviruses, firewalls, encryptions, biometrics, and authentication methods work. Finally, you will learn about information and cybersecurity topics, such as the BYOD policy and cyber warfare.
Upon completion, you will have gained comprehensive knowledge and insights into cyber security and can become cyber/information security professionals.
