Description
Are you ready to start your journey into Cyber Security and Network Security?
In today’s digital world, cyber threats are growing rapidly. From malware and ransomware to advanced cyber attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities, organizations need skilled professionals who can secure networks and protect critical systems.
This course is designed to provide a strong foundation in Cyber Security and Network Security, making it perfect for beginners and IT professionals looking to transition into security roles.
You will start by understanding the importance of network security, followed by exploring common threats and how cyber attacks actually work. You will then dive into one of the most critical security components — firewalls, including packet filtering, proxy firewalls, and next-generation firewalls (NGFW).
The course also covers Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS), application control, and content filtering techniques used in real-world environments. You will learn how to defend against DDoS attacks, malware, ransomware, and zero-day threats, along with implementing essential security best practices like authentication (AAA), network segmentation, and least privilege.
