About the Course

This course focuses on foundational computing skills that support the work of a security analyst. It begins with an introduction to computer operating systems, followed by a closer exploration of Linux, an operating system commonly used by security professionals.

I already had experience with Linux and SQL as a Computer Science student but I did pick up a few CLI commands that I haven't used before. A good way to get your feet wet with both.

Labs were enjoyable. If you have advanced knowledge of Linux already, dial it back for the labs - correct answers only encompass what they've taught, not your extra knowledge.
