Cyber Defense Architecture
Develop job-ready cyber defense architecture skills with hands-on practice using employer-demanded tools for detecting and preventing network attacks.
Develop job-ready cyber defense architecture skills with hands-on practice using employer-demanded tools for detecting and preventing network attacks.
This comprehensive course delivers essential skills in cyber defense architecture to help organizations combat the skyrocketing costs of cyber breaches. Over five weeks, you'll develop a thorough understanding of how to detect, respond to, and prevent cyberattacks across multiple security domains. The curriculum begins with foundational cybersecurity principles, including the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) triad, before diving into specialized security areas. You'll learn to detect cyber threats using Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR) systems while mastering advanced monitoring, analysis, and threat hunting techniques. The course covers Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) systems and breach notification protocols. You'll explore Identity and Access Management (IAM) concepts such as multifactor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management (PAM). The program also addresses network security (firewalls, VPNs, SASE), application security (secure coding, vulnerability testing, DevSecOps), and data security governance. The learning experience culminates in a hands-on project where you'll design secure network architecture and analyze real-world cybersecurity tools, providing practical skills that employers value.
