What you’ll learn
Network & System Administration Basics
You’ll understand how computer networks and operating systems actually work in real environments. This includes how devices communicate, how servers are managed, and how administrators keep systems running smoothly. These basics are essential before you can learn how attacks happen—or how to stop them.
Core Information Security Principles
Learn the foundation of cybersecurity through the CIA triad:
-
Confidentiality – keeping sensitive data private
-
Integrity – ensuring data is not altered or tampered with
-
Availability – making sure systems and data are accessible when needed
These principles are used daily by security teams in real organizations.
Introduction to Cryptography
Get familiar with basic cryptography concepts such as encryption, hashing, and digital certificates. You’ll learn how cryptography protects data during storage and transmission, and why it’s critical for secure communication on the internet.
Threats, Attacks & Risk Awareness
Understand common cyber threats like malware, phishing, password attacks, and network intrusions. You’ll learn how attackers think, what vulnerabilities they exploit, and how organizations identify potential risks before damage happens.
Learn essential techniques used to secure systems and network infrastructure. This includes monitoring activity, analyzing suspicious behavior, and applying security controls to reduce the chances of attacks.
Real-World Security Practices
The course focuses on practical knowledge that applies to both small businesses and large organizations. You’ll see how security solutions are planned, implemented, and maintained in real scenarios—not just theory.
