Cyber Security Training Course

Hi everyone, welcome to my Cyber Security Training Course. We will cover 5 short modules on how to increase your online security by changing your device's security settings.

Let's get started with the first module, "The Firewall". Which is a computer network system designed to block unauthorized access while permitting outward communication. In device settings, under privacy & security, choose firewall and enable it. This will maximize your device network security and prevent cyber attacks like fraud and viruses. The majority of people that use this feature are trained users.

For apple users go to your system preferences, security and privacy and choose the firewall tab. Then turn it on. For Windows PC users go to your settings, update & security, windows security and then Firewall and Network Protections. Open Windows security settings, select a network profile, under Microsoft Defender Firewall, turn the setting on. You are now protected!

This is the first module, we've OFFICIALLY started increasing our online security by using the Firewall protection.

CONGRATS! Next, move on to Module 2 to learn more security settings now!

Hi Everyone, welcome to Module 2 where you will learn what data encryption is, what it’s for and how to use it.

Data encryption is a computer process that secures data using secret code that prevents fraud and malicious attacks. This process takes up extra memory and time but can increase overall speed and security. It sped up my browser load up times which are almost instant now.

For Apple users go to system preferences, select security and privacy, then turn on filevault. This process is time consuming because all the files have to be translated into the secret code in order to be protected so plan accordingly.

This is all you need and now we have finished module 2. We learned about data encryption and we have increased our security defenses. Let’s continue learning about more cyber security features in the next Module #3. Thank you for watching and check out the next video now.

Hi Everyone, welcome to Module 2.1 where you will learn what data encryption is, what it’s for and how to use it.

Data encryption is a computer process that secures data using secret code that prevents fraud and malicious attacks. This process takes up extra memory and time but can increase overall speed and security. It sped up my browser load up times which are almost instant now.

For Windows Pc users go to windows start menu, select settings, click windows update and make sure you're up to date to take advantage of this feature. After updating, go to the bottom of the page select "Device Encryption" and enable it.

This process is time consuming because all the files have to be translated into the secret code in order to be protected so plan accordingly.

This is all you need and now we have finished module 2. We learned about data encryption and we have increased our security defenses. Let’s continue learning about more cyber security features in the next Module #3. Thank you for watching and check out the next video now.

Hi Everyone, welcome to Module 2.2 where you will learn what data encryption is, what it’s for and how to use it.

Data encryption is a computer process that secures data using secret code that prevents fraud and malicious attacks. This process takes up extra memory and time but can increase overall speed and security. It sped up my browser load up times which are almost instant now.

For iOS device users go to settings, Touch ID & Passcode and enter a password. Vary you characters, don't repeat them and make sure to use up to 15 characters. Increase your security by adding fingerprints. Once you put in a passcode your cellphone will automatically encrypt your data.  If you want to change the data protection level you will have to download an additional application called app delegate, which I don't recommend or think is necessary for iOS devices. Apple settings will suffice for this module.

This is all you need and now we have finished module 2. We learned about data encryption and we have increased our security defenses. Let’s continue learning about more cyber security features in the next Module #3. Thank you for watching and check out the next video now.

Hi Everyone, welcome to Module 3 where you will learn what "Two Step Verification" is, what it's for and how to use it.

Two Step Verification is a password process for email accounts, it involves setting up a strong password and verifying your identity everytime you log in. This is done through text and voice call codes. You login, you receive a code through your cell phone, you type it in to the email account and this verifies you're an authorized user to prevent fraud and cyber activity.

This is how you do it and now we have finished module 3. We learned about two factor verification and we have increased our security defenses. Let’s continue learning about more cyber security features in the next Module #4. Thank you for watching and check out the next video now.

Hi Everyone, welcome to Module 4 where you will learn what "Algebraic Passwords" are, what they're for and how to use them.

Algebraic passwords use algebra equation formats, it involves not repeating characters, using lower and upper case letters and varying numbers and special characters. The purpose is to create a strong, effective passwords that adds security to user accounts anywhere.

Follow me through this video so you can visualize the process.

This is how you do it and now we have finished module 4. We learned about algebraic passwords and we have increased our security defenses. Let’s continue learning about more cyber security features in the next Module #4. Thank you for watching and check out the next video now.

Hi everyone, welcome to the last Module 5 where you will learn about disconnecting old internet devices to finalize increasing your cyber security.

Cyber criminals can access modems through the internet because they have a small, internal battery even if you disconnect them from power it still connects devices to the internet accessible to high risk cyber criminals.

Avoid these dangers by unplugging everything that's not being used, especially if it has sensitive information. This includes customer accounts, private data and credit card Information with numbers, expiration dates and security codes.

You can physically remove hard drives memory storage devices from computers to keep in a safe place while discarding old devices. Wi-Fi can also be turned off and disable through the network and wifi settings, click forget network and turn off.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOU have officially completed this cyber security training course!

There is a short competency test after this module that you must complete.

It will measure your abilities to implement the security solutions covered and it will test the effectiveness of my training course.

Afterwards theres a short survey, please fill it out so I can receive feedback specific to cyber security. Thank you for using my training course and have a great day!

This module will not be on the test, it's long because the Udemy requires me to have at least 30 mins of video content uploaded. However, this content has great information on how to maximize your security settings inside your browser. Follow me in this module and select the settings as you see on my screen for best protection.

Thank you and you will do great on the test.
