Introduction

Build essential cybersecurity skills and learn about security threats and how to manage them.

Get practical, hands-on experience in cybersecurity

Cybersecurity breaches can have devastating impacts on businesses, with an average cost per data breach of $3.92 million.

If you work within cybersecurity or want to bring more preventative measures to your company, this ExpertTrack will help you build on basic cybersecurity knowledge to develop your understanding further.

This ExpertTrack will teach you how to identify, mitigate, prevent and recover from some of the biggest threats in cybersecurity. You can use these skills to bring security remedies to your workplace.

Delve into password security and attacks

Though passwords are still widely used, it’s important to recognise their vulnerabilities to avoid potential cybersecurity breaches. You’ll gain practical experience of how password attacks happen and gain insight into cybersecurity techniques and tools that can prevent malicious attacks from happening.

You’ll also learn how to set up an effective environment for security testing so that you discover first-hand the different methodologies that can be used to bypass passwords.

This will develop your understanding of the vital practice of conducting a thorough security assessment and penetration test.

Learn how to increase network security

Network attacks are a growing problem, which can have severe impacts on your work networks. On this ExpertTrack, you’ll be equipped with the skills you need to understand the different types of attacks that can occur on your network, such as spear phishing, and learn how to use security tools to help prevent them.

You’ll also learn the key ways of dealing with disaster recovery, should a cyber-attack happen.

Understand risks to web applications using the OWASP Top 10

Through a hands-on practical approach, this ExpertTrack will give you an in-depth insight into web application risks and how to increase software security in practice.

You’ll dive into the OWASP Top 10, the standard awareness document about the largest risks to web applications, and learn how to use common exploitation techniques to see the impacts of these risks.

By the end of this comprehensive ExpertTrack, you’ll feel confident of both the theory and practical application of password security, and understand the practices you need to implement to enhance password protection.
