Course Description
In an era of relentless cyber threats, skilled cybersecurity specialists are among the most critical assets in tech. This course provides comprehensive, hands-on training in network defense, ethical hacking, threat hunting, and security governance.
Set up isolated virtual laboratories to conduct penetration testing, packet analysis, vulnerability scanning with Wireshark and Nmap, web application hardening (OWASP Top 10), and cryptography implementation.
Graduates will be prepared to tackle real-world security challenges as SOC analysts, penetration testers, or information security officers.
