This course, like all Zero To Mastery courses, will be constantly updated with new lectures and resources as the cyber security landscape changes. It’s a living thing.
That means this will be your go-to place to find the latest cybersecurity best practices and resources anytime in the future.
Importantly, throughout the entire course we’ll discuss the exam, the information that is important for it, and how to prepare for it.
Here are the important topics you’ll learn about:
1. Introduction to Security Basics & Certification Exam Overview – Let’s do this! Even if you’re a complete beginner with no knowledge or experience in cybersecurity, you have nothing to fear (except fear itself!) because this course will teach you everything you need to know from scratch. We’ll kick things off by introducing you to the basic concepts in security, as well as the structure and topics of the exam.
2. Authentication And Access Control – It’s time to get our hands dirty with the first main topic from the exam objective. You’ll learn about different types of identity, authentication, account access control, Windows & Linux file access control and much more.
3. Secure Network Design and Concept – You’ll learn about the OSI model here before diving into another exam objective topic: important network security implementations such as Firewalls, NIDS, NIPS, Network Segmentation. Plus you’ll learn about the important tools that you’ll need to know for the exam and which will be useful throughout your career.
4. Security Protocols – Here we shift our focus to important secure and unsecure protocols, their ports, their purposes and what we can exchange them for in case they are not secure!
5. Wireless and Mobile Security – You’ll earn about Wireless Infrastructure, Wireless Authentication Methods as well as threats that target wireless devices, before moving on to Mobile Security, Mobile Device Management and different policies that are important when managing devices inside facilities.
6. Virtualization and Cloud Security – You’ll learn about the growing and vital importance of virtualization and cloud technology in today’s world. We’ll talk about the use of Virtual Machines and different types of Cloud Technology and discuss why it’s important to implement virtualization and cloud usage in your organization from the aspect of security.
7. Physical Security & Facilities Security – A small but necessary section where you’ll learn about Physical Security measures, as these are important to know for CompTIA Security+ certification exam objectives.
