English

What you'll learn

  • Analyze threat actors, motivations, and attack vectors to understand how modern cyber attacks originate.
  • Execute practical analysis using industry-standard tools like Wireshark, Nmap, and password crackers.
  • Identify critical vulnerabilities across software, hardware, cloud, and mobile systems to prevent exploitation.
  • Implement robust mitigation strategies and hardening techniques to defend networks against malware and exploits.

Course content

5 sections • 36 lectures • 2h 38m total length

  • Introduction2:55

    Explore threat actors, human vectors, and common attack methods; practice browser-based labs, analyze networks with Wireshark, and learn vulnerability scanning, zero-day vulnerabilities, and mitigation across software, hardware, and cloud.

  • Threat Actors and Motivations4:44
  • Threat Actor Motivations5:10
  • Threat Vectors and Attack Surfaces1:53
  • Social Engineering5:32
  • Other Threat Vectors0:48

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of computer networks and operating system fundamentals (e.g., understanding IP addresses and basic command line usage) is helpful but not required. We build concepts from the ground up.

Description

Cybersecurity is not just about firewalls; it is about understanding the enemy.

To defend an infrastructure effectively, you must first understand how it is attacked. Who are the threat actors? What tools do they use? How do they exploit a tiny vulnerability in code or configuration to bring down an entire network?

"Cyber Security: Threats, Vulnerabilities & Mitigations" is a specialized, deep-dive course designed to take you from a theoretical understanding of security to practical application. We move beyond simple definitions to explore the real-world mechanics of cyber attacks and the defenses required to stop them.

Why take this course? Most courses only teach you definitions. This course focuses on application. Through comprehensive lectures and hands-on demonstrations, you will not just learn about threats; you will see them in action.

What we cover in 5 comprehensive sections:

  • The Threat Landscape: Understand the psychology of Hackers, APTs, and Insider Threats.

  • Attack Vectors: Master the mechanics of Social Engineering, Phishing, and Physical breaches.

  • Network & Application Attacks: Deep dive into Injection attacks, XSS, Buffer Overflows, and Rogue DHCP.

  • Vulnerability Assessment: Learn to spot weaknesses in Cloud, Mobile, Virtualization, and Supply Chains.

  • Tools & Mitigations: Watch real-world demos of Wireshark, Nmap, and Password Cracking tools, then learn how to fix the gaps.

Whether you are an IT professional looking to pivot into security, or a developer wanting to write safer code, this course provides the targeted training you need to spot risks before they become breaches.

Who this course is for:

  • IT professionals, System Administrators, and developers who want to transition into Cybersecurity or better secure their current infrastructure.
  • Aspiring Penetration Testers and Ethical Hackers looking for a solid foundation in how vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited.
