How can hands-on experience with security technologies enhance your cybersecurity skills? In this fully asynchronous course, students will explore key knowledge, skills, and competencies associated with using and managing a variety of security technologies through practical, lab-based exercises. You’ll gain hands-on experience with tools such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and vulnerability scanners, and learn how to apply these technologies in real-world scenarios. Activities will include interactive lab exercises, guided tutorials, and video demonstrations that provide practical experience with security technologies. Discussion boards will allow you to reflect on your lab experiences and share insights with peers. By the end of the course, you will be able to effectively configure, deploy, and manage security technologies to protect against and respond to cyber threats. You will demonstrate your learning by completing a series of lab assignments, where you’ll apply your knowledge to configure security tools, conduct vulnerability assessments, and respond to simulated security incidents.
