Cyber Secuirty Course Content

Overview:

Cybersecurity also referred as Information Technology Security. Cybersecurity is the protection from cyberattacks to internet-connected systems, including hardware, software and data. Information security, which is designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data, is a subset of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity refers to body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect network devices, data and programs from attack or unauthorized access.
The purpose of cybersecurity is to help prevent cyberattacks, data breaches and identity theft and can aid in risk management.

Training Objective (What you will learn)

Identify, evaluate and treat cyber risk and improve their organization’s security. Undertake responsive measures to reduce business risk exposure to within risk appetite, with constrained resources and within budget. You’ll learn how to protect computer operating systems, networks, and data from cyber-attacks, how to monitor systems and mitigate threats when they happen.

Prerequisites

You need to be good at:
1. Computer Networking
2. Languages i.e. Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP and Javascript
3. Linux, Unix, Bash and Powershell
4. Understanding Web Application's architecture and HTTP/HTTPS communication
5. Assembly Language

Market Demand

As per the market predictions there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions by 2021. The cybersecurity jobs forecasts have been unable to keep pace with the dramatic rise in cybercrime, which is predicted to cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015.
