Description
This is the foundation course. It assumes nothing — no prior security knowledge, no scripting, no certifications.
By the end you will understand the shape of the threat landscape, know why the common attacks work, and have spent real time in a lab doing rather than watching. Everything after this course assumes this material.
Who is this course for?
- Aspiring security analysts
- IT professionals moving into security
- Developers who want to build securely
- Students with no prior experience
What you will learn
How attacks actually work, beyond the headlines
