About the course
Develop practical information security skills through a comprehensive series of self-paced, hands-on labs covering network protection, system security, incident response, digital forensics, and enterprise security practices.
The course introduces firewall configuration, network address translation (NAT), remote access, common network protocols, wireless security, and security policies across Windows and Linux environments.
Learners will gain hands-on experience securing pfSense firewalls, implementing backup strategies, analysing network traffic using Wireshark and NetworkMiner, and exploring incident response, forensic investigation, and forensic analysis techniques.
The course also covers patching and system hardening, antivirus configuration, Active Directory in enterprise environments, and the use of public key encryption to protect communications.
The course includes controlled security labs exploring social engineering with the Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET), wireless security assessment, and remote and local exploitation techniques.
Malware and remote-access Trojan (RAT) concepts are explored within authorised laboratory environments to help learners understand how such threats operate and how they can be detected and mitigated.
By completing the labs, learners will develop a practical understanding of information security controls, defensive technologies, security assessment techniques, incident response, and forensic analysis.
The course provides a strong foundation for further study in cybersecurity, information security, penetration testing, security operations, and digital forensics.
