Description
Cybersecurity is a constant challenge for all organizations. When talking about cybersecurity, Read Team and Blue Team are often mentioned as the Red Team that teaches the attacking techniques while the Blue Team helps us know how to defend. The only way to be good at cybersecurity is to learn both the techniques of an attacker as well as a defender. If you are someone who thinks like a hacker and want to deeply explore what are the threats are and how to protect yourself from such threats, then go for this course.This course starts with setting up hacker’s development lab before moving to Red Team tactics, where you will learn the basic syntax for the Linux tools that are commonly used to perform the necessary operations. You will gain hands-on experience of using Red Team techniques with powerful tools such as Python and Kali Linux, which will enable you to discover vulnerabilities in your system and to exploit them. You will also learn how a system is usually compromised by adversaries, and how they hack user’s identity, and the various tools used by the Red Team to find vulnerabilities in a system.In the next section, you will learn about the defense strategies followed by the Blue Team to enhance the overall security of a system. You will learn about an in-depth strategy to ensure that there are security controls in each network layer, and how you can carry out the recovery process of a compromised system. Finally, you will learn how to defend yourself from social engineering attacks.By the end of this course, you will be well-versed with Red Team and Blue Team techniques and will have learned the required techniques used nowadays to attack and defend systems.Meet Your Expert(s):We have the best work of the following esteemed author(s) to ensure that your learning journey is smooth:● Sergii Nesterenko is Information Security Consultant and Penetration Tester with 20 years’ experience in the information security and 6 years’ in the cybersecurity field. He consults international business companies, military staff, NGOs, politicians, Members of Parliament, law enforcement, and other VIP on security issues. His wide knowledge in information technologies and human psychology let him elaborate effective technologies to prevent and overcome most cunning cyberattacks.
