SEC301: Introduction to Cyber Security - Live Online
Plenty of people are asked to make security decisions without ever being taught the vocabulary. Approving a vendor, writing a policy, signing off on a control, sitting in a breach meeting and trying to work out what everyone is arguing about.
SEC301 fixes that in five days of live, virtual instruction, without assuming a technical background. No prerequisites, no acronym drills, and every topic arrives with a scenario attached: a hospital weighing a delayed patch, a compliance lead deciding whether a lost device triggers notification, a factory floor that goes dark after a well-meant IT update. Labs run entirely in a browser, so any laptop with an internet connection will do.
During the Week, You'll Work Through:
- 14 hands-on labs, all browser-based
- Risk equation and breach notification decision exercises
- Hashing, encryption, digital signature, and TLS certificate labs
- DNS investigation, traceroute analysis, and Zero Trust design work
- Malware identification case studies and ATT&CK to D3FEND mapping
- A live SOC scenario following alerts through SIEM, EDR, and SOAR
How AI Is Changing Attacks
The course examines how AI is changing phishing, voice cloning, and malware generation, and has you weigh an AI-driven SOC pilot on its operational data rather than its marketing. You’ll get 30 CPE credits for this course, and it’s aligned to the GIAC Information Security Fundamentals (GISF) certification.
Who Should Take This Course?
Anyone who needs to be fluent in security without being a practitioner: managers, HR, legal, auditors, compliance staff, and people moving into cybersecurity from another field. It also suits technical people who picked things up piecemeal and want the full picture in order.
