Certified Cyber Security Professional

As cyber-attacks have risen in the past few years, the need for trained professionals who can help mitigate these security issues has grown too. Due to strong demand in every field, Cyber Security is the best field in which one can build a professional career.

In this course, we cover the following modules

Basics of Networking & Cyber Security

Before diving into the course, we ensure students understand networking fundamentals and the importance of cyber security. We provide an overview of network detection, connection requirements, and how the internet works. This lays a strong foundation for students to understand more advanced concepts.

In this module, we cover:

Basic definition of a Network and its types

Networks are groups of computers connected to each other through a common communication protocol. They have the capability to transfer data and information amongst each other. There are several types of networks, such as LAN, WAN, MAN, PAN, and VPN.

Devices used in forming a digital network

Devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles, smart TVs, Blu-Ray players, and cable boxes are used to form digital networks. These networks offer high-speed internet access, fast file downloads, HD video streaming, and secure browsing. Service providers offer various digital network solutions tailored to your needs. Corporate houses, educational institutions, and homes rely on these networks for their internet and data needs.

How is the unique identifier assigned in a network

The easiest way to assign a unique identifier to a node is to use the MAC address of the device. However, it is also possible to assign a unique ID to every node in the network by using public/private key algorithms. A unique ID can also be assigned to each node by using a combination of MAC address and a non-MAC address parameter (such as the Media Access Control address of the device is concatenated with the device’s hostname).

What basic security implementation can be imposed during digital communication?

To communicate securely, make sure your computer and phone have a good antivirus and lock screen. Ensure that all software is updated. Also delete emails and messages after reading for extra security.

Security Audits (ISMS, BCMS); Cloud computing & Security

Security Audits are carried out to review and examine the level of security that is being used currently to protect the system records and critical business data. By conducting audits, one can verify whether the existing security system is capable of protecting the system from data breaches and perform necessary updates for improving the security of the system.

In the Security Audits module, we cover the most important aspects of the subject and teach how to assess the information system for making a checklist of all the security standards to be met. Through a comprehensive security audit, companies can enhance the security of their systems and crosscheck the existing security framework for making necessary updates.

Through the course we provide knowledge about:

Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS)
Cloud Computing and Security

Network Penetration Testing

Here is where the real skills are tested.

Network Penetration Testing or Ethical Hacking is the practice where the students learn how to test the system audit and practices by penetrating the security framework by hacking. Many cyber security enthusiasts have a keen interest in learning how hackers break into the system and steal data. Penetration testing truly gives them a feeling of a hackers.

Network Penetration Testing aims to identify the vulnerabilities in the network. It is focused mainly on the design, implementation, and maintenance of a network. During the penetration test, the auditors try to simulate the potential attack and test whether the system can prevent them.

There are several benefits of performing a Network Penetration Test:

It helps in understanding the network criterion
It reveals hidden vulnerabilities and risks in the system
It aids in testing the cyber-defense capacity of the system
It prevents data and network breaches
It ensures the system and network security
It helps in adhering to the compliance regulations
It reassures the business partners by keeping the promise of trust

In this course module, we provide a brief understanding of

What is Network Penetration Testing?
Gray Hat, White Hat, and Black Hat hackers
Introduction to Network Penetration and Web/App Penetration
How do hackers target the network, website, application, and system?
How testing is carried out after auditing?

We also have a separate course for Network Penetration Testing, you can check it out by clicking here.

Web Application Penetration Testing

Web Application Penetration is different from Network Penetration. In it, as the name says, the attackers try to penetrate the web application, not a network. This test focuses mainly on the security framework of a website or an application. Through Web/App penetration testing, testers try to examine the code flaws and improper software use.

Through this module, we teach students about:

Basic Introduction of Web Application Penetration
Revealing hidden vulnerability by deep analysis
Addressing the security posture of Web applications
Demonstrating the impacts by simulating the potential attacks
Carrying out the tests and analyzing the results

Security Operations Center

The Security Operation Center (SOC) is a centralized function within an organization that uses people, processes, and techniques to continuously improve and evaluate a company's security posture while preventing, detecting, analyzing, and responding to cybersecurity incidents.

The SOC module in our course covers the following chapters

Introduction to SOC.
Evolution of SOC.
Different roles in SOC.
Technologies & Components in SOC.
Implementation and Building of the SOC.
Introduction to SIEM.
SIEM Architecture.
