Cybersecurity Advanced

Course Description

Cybersecurity Advanced is a 5-day course for learners with foundational cybersecurity knowledge who want to build advanced skills in endpoint security, network defense, policy implementation, and incident response. The course explores practical topics like system hardening, firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM, and compliance frameworks. Learners engage in hands-on labs and simulations using real-world tools. It supports intermediate certifications like CompTIA Security+ and prepares participants for roles in SOC and IT security teams.

Course Objectives

Harden systems and secure endpoints by implementing patching strategies and baseline configurations.

Deploy and configure network security tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and SIEM platforms.
