Course Overview

One of the main concerns we have is that we can't be sure about the security of our infrastructures; nobody can guarantee that they do not have a compromise or leak of information in their entities. How to increase our capabilities and controls to reduce the attackers' possibilities and make it more difficult for an adversary to steal your information or generate any kind of incident is a permanent question and need for all the Companies and Entities in the world. 

In this course, from a hands-on perspective, we are going to cover the distinct aspects of OPSEC providing insights, recommendations, tests, and techniques that you can use at once to harden your infrastructures and protect critical assets. You will also learn the fundamental principles of Operations Security (OPSEC) and gain practical skills in applying them effectively within your environment. The curriculum covers the crucial task of identifying Critical Information and Indicators (CII), enabling you to discern and prioritize essential data for safeguarding. Additionally, the course delves into the intricate realm of Attack Vectors, empowering you to distinguish and comprehend the various methods adversaries employ to breach security. You will also develop proficiency in analyzing threats and vulnerabilities, allowing you to assess and mitigate potential risks comprehensively. The program extends to the practical aspect of executing controls and countermeasures, providing hands-on experience in implementing security measures to fortify your systems. Furthermore, the course emphasizes the importance of incident reporting, ensuring that you are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively communicate and manage security incidents.

By the end of the course, you will have a complete set of tools to be better prepared to face today's cyber risks.
