In this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of cybersecurity principles and practices, preparing you for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam. By the end of the course, you will be well-versed in security concepts, from basic principles to advanced mitigation techniques. Through real-world examples and hands-on exercises, you will learn to protect systems and data in an increasingly complex security environment.
The course starts with fundamental security topics, including control categories, authentication, and authorization. You will explore the importance of multifactor authentication (MFA) and key security strategies like Zero Trust, physical security, and deception technologies. Additionally, you’ll examine encryption solutions essential for protecting sensitive data.
Next, the focus shifts to threats and vulnerabilities, where you’ll learn about various threat actors, social engineering, and common vulnerabilities in systems, mobile devices, and web applications. You’ll explore mitigation techniques, including endpoint detection, vulnerability analysis, and intrusion detection to secure networks.
Finally, the course covers advanced topics such as security architecture, risk management, compliance, and vendor assessments. You’ll learn how to manage security policies, conduct risk assessments, and ensure compliance within your organization, enabling you to respond effectively to security threats and enhance organizational security.
Applied Learning Project
You will engage in real-world projects where you apply security concepts like firewall configuration, risk assessment, and vulnerability analysis. These projects will provide practical experience in securing networks, systems, and data from evolving cyber threats.
