Cyber Security: Threats, Vulnerabilities & Mitigations

About this course

Cybersecurity is not just about firewalls; it is about understanding the enemy.To defend an infrastructure effectively, you must first understand how it is attacked. Who are the threat actors? What tools do they use? How do they exploit a tiny vulnerability in code or configuration to bring down an entire network?"Cyber Security: Threats, Vulnerabilities & Mitigations" is a specialized, deep-dive course designed to take you from a theoretical understanding of security to practical application. We move beyond simple definitions to explore the real-world mechanics of cyber attacks and the defenses required to stop them.Why take this course? Most courses only teach you definitions. This course focuses on application. Through comprehensive lectures and hands-on demonstrations, you will not just learn about threats; you will see them in action.What we cover in 5 comprehensive sections:The Threat Landscape: Understand the psychology of Hackers, APTs, and Insider Threats.Attack Vectors: Master the mechanics of Social Engineering, Phishing, and Physical breaches.Network & Application Attacks: Deep dive into Injection attacks, XSS, Buffer Overflows, and Rogue DHCP.Vulnerability Assessment: Learn to spot weaknesses in Cloud, Mobile, Virtualization, and Supply Chains.Tools & Mitigations: Watch real-world demos of Wireshark, Nmap, and Password Cracking tools, then learn how to fix the gaps.Whether you are an IT professional looking to pivot into security, or a developer wanting to write safer code, this course provides the targeted training you need to spot risks before they become breaches.
