Introduction to Cybersecurity

Exclusive – Learn the importance of cybersecurity in information technology.

GK# 4277

In this training course, you will discover the importance of cybersecurity in information technology. The objective is to understand cyber-attacks and the techniques used to take control of an unsecure system. This course also presents the defensive measures security teams can take to prevent attacks, and provides an overview of the malicious software types used in computer networks.

I took "Introduction to Cybersecurity" to update my basic knowledge of cybersecurity. I took a mini course years ago when cybersecurity wasn’t as big a deal. This course made me realize how critical it is to an organization. The lab environment was put together really well. Each section has questions that really encourage you to try it for yourself first and then confirm your solution. Also, the script and step by step guide were on point. I’ve even shown my coworkers a few tips I learned in the course.
