Cyber Security Essentials

Course description

The course provides comprehensive training on the fundamentals of cybersecurity, addressing concepts and protection techniques in a real environment. The program covers basic cybersecurity principles, threats, and vulnerabilities, as well as defensive measures such as the use of firewalls, IDS/IPS systems, and VPNs. Students will have the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge through practical exercises and labs, focusing on secure network configuration, threat monitoring, and attack management.

The course includes a substantial practical component, allowing participants to apply theoretical knowledge in real laboratory scenarios.
