In this course, defensive concepts will be explored and the power of using deception at different layers of the network. The attacker depends on information that is gathered during their surveillance, and with deception we change the network at layer 2-4 and the result of this is the attacker’s collected data is no longer valid and useless for them, this requires the attacker to start the information gathering process over again. In a robust defensive solution, the network can change multiple times based on the classification of the threat, and each time it changes, the attacker is lost and has to start the recon process over again. These concepts change the game and puts the defender in control! The concepts have been deployed at Capture the Flag events and frustrated and confused the hackers for hours!
Forever you have heard that the hackers are in control and they only need to find one way in. This course will show you how to flip that model and we only need one packet to identify the attacker and prepare our response strategy. We are in control of our networks and this workshop will show you how to take advantage of and achieve that.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
