Learn the foundations of security and defending architectures from attack. You will look at the concept of "thinking like a hacker" to learn techniques to defend from the types of attacks that are commonly conducted against IT/corporate networks as well as industrial control networks. You will learn powerful methods to analyze the risks inherent in your networks. Once your foundation has been set, you will look at the best practices and recommendations for reducing attack surface. You will also learn a systematic process for intrusion and malware analysis.
This course is taught by renowned cyber security expert Kevin Cardwell and includes extensive hands-on exercises, in order to learn by doing, as well as video teaching material.
