ENGLISH
In the “Cybersecurity: Cyber Threat Management” course, you will dive into the fundamental concepts essential in the field of cybersecurity. We kick things off with ethics and governance before moving onto practical skills such as network security testing and endpoint vulnerability assessment. Throughout the course, we maintain a strong focus on critical aspects like threat intelligence and risk management, equipping you with the knowledge to respond effectively post-incident. Our goal is to prepare you to effectively engage in threat management and incident response activities, becoming a valuable member of a cybersecurity operations team. By the end of the course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to play a pivotal role in managing cyber threats, standing on the front lines of defense in the ever-vital field of cybersecurity.
At the end of this course, learners will be able to use commands to gather network information and diagnose connectivity issues. They will also be proficient in explaining how endpoint vulnerabilities are assessed and managed. Furthermore, learners will be adept at evaluating security controls based on organization characteristics, and they will be equipped to apply various standards in incident handling procedures to a given incident scenario.
