Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Are you interested in becoming a cybersecurity professional? Unfortunately, the market is saturated with courses and text that pertain to becoming a penetration tester, red teamer, and ethical hacker. That concept motivated me to create a comprehensive course that is geared towards the exact opposite. 

Defensive cybersecurity is just as in-demand as the offensive counterpart and provides the same type of rewarding career. Unlike the red team, defensive cybersecurity has many more sub-fields that allow you to explore different aspects of this career path. In this comprehensive condensed course, you will learn all of the information security principles alongside new technologies that professionals are using to stop hackers from breaching their network.

What You Will Learn

  • Learn fundamental cyber-security principles that will allow them to defend their network against hackers of all skill sets.
  • Obtain hands-on knowledge that is applicable to real-world environments.
  • Learn all new technologies that professionals are using to stop hackers from breaching their network.

Instructor

Jonathan Elliott

Associate Software Engineer

Jonathan started using computers at the early age of six. When he was 13, he began to study certain computing topics more in-depth. He started learning the concept of packet-switched networks while writing scripts in a Pascal-based language via an IDE known as SCAR Divi. He then began to focus on common web-based vulnerabilities. From there he transitioned into learning general cybersecurity topics and started to become proficient in different programming languages, network security, and endpoint hardening. Over the years he continued to assimilate these topics, while he acquired more knowledge in generalized networking, penetration testing, and risk analysis alongside my primary focus of defensive security. To this day, he continues to further his education in every possible way including but not limited to attending conferences, listening to podcasts, and actively participating in the information security community. He also participates in cybersecurity clubs and regularly engages in non-competitive CTF challenges such as Hack The Box. His passion for this field only continues to grow stronger.
