Eight weeks of security fundamentals, network defense basics and risk management, built for anyone starting a security career from zero.
Introduction to Cyber Security lays the groundwork for a career in security — how networks and systems get attacked, the tools defenders use to detect and respond, and the frameworks organizations follow to manage risk.

CIA triad, threat actors and common attack vectors.
Firewalls, network segmentation and intrusion detection basics.
Risk assessment frameworks and security policy fundamentals.
