Most introductory or beginner level cybersecurity courses are not truly beginner level. Most of them assume some level of technical competence and expect that cybersecurity is not your first technical job role. However, as I've successfully mentored people coming from fields such as nursing, aviation (an airline pilot!), and real estate, I've learned that these people are underserved as far a true introduction. This Learning Path is an answer to that gap.
Overview
Syllabus
- Introduction to Cybersecurity Foundations
- This course is an introductory cybersecurity path for people who have not been exposed to cybersecurity concepts in the workplace before. In these courses, a cybersecurity professional will walk the student through foundational concepts, commands and tools.
- Cybersecurity Fundamentals
- This course introduces you to the basic concepts that are usually not covered in other classes and bootcamps for people entering the industry. If you've been trying to break into cybersecurity and felt like the courses you've taken didn't address enough of the foundational aspects of cybersecurity and technology in general, this course is for you. It is the missing piece for brand-new cybersecurity students.
- Network Fundamentals
- This course is an introduction to networking and how networks work. When data moves, it generally moves from one network to another. Here, we teach the learner about the fundamentals of networking and how network technologies apply to cybersecurity.
- Cloud Computing Fundamentals
- This course is an introduction to cloud computing. It builds from the Network Fundamentals course in this path and prepares the learner for learning cloud security.
