WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to compare a wide range of security controls and understand core cybersecurity principles, including the CIA triad, AAA, zero trust, and deception technologies. They will explain change management processes and apply cryptographic solutions, including encryption, PKI, hashing, and blockchain. Students will identify various threat actors, their motivations, and attack vectors, and assess vulnerabilities across systems and environments. They will analyze malicious activity, apply mitigation techniques, and compare infrastructure models like cloud, on-premises, IoT, and ICS. Emphasis will be placed on securing enterprise infrastructure, protecting data, ensuring resilience and recovery, and managing computing resources. Additionally, students will demonstrate skills in asset and vulnerability management, system monitoring, and configuring enterprise security tools. They will implement identity and access controls, understand automation and incident response processes, and use data sources for investigations. Finally, students will summarize security governance and compliance practices, conduct risk assessments, evaluate third-party risks, and promote security awareness throughout an organization.
