Course Description

The field of technology is growing exponentially with the IT sector flourishing every day. Amidst such growth of the industry and increased concern for privacy, the demand for security is rising. Cybersecurity has become an everyday struggle for many businesses. Recent trends and statistics reveal that there is a huge increase in hacked and breached data from very common sources at workplaces. So go for this course to get a better understanding of cyber security!

Most of the people are often confused when they are asked - “WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?” The most common reply is - “UM, HACKING. ” Well, hacking is part of cyber security but it doesn’t mean that hacking is the synonym of cyber security. Many courses out there only teach how to use the tool but the reasoning that goes behind its selection is not taught. Also, the main focus of these courses is on hacking but it is not the only domain in cyber security. Other major domains are Incident Response Management, Blue team, Security Audits, IT Security Management, Security laws and many more.

" I was doubting on this course as this was a new one. But getting started with the course gave me a good insight of Cyber Security and all my concepts were cleared about Computer Networking in the first section itself. No course based on Cyber Security includes Networking but this course has covered the same so I preferred this course. "  ~ Student
