Course Synopsis

This course equips participants with foundational knowledge and practical skills to safeguard organisational systems, networks, and digital assets against cybersecurity threats. It introduces core information security principles, including the Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) triad, security controls, and cybersecurity roles, enabling participants to understand how security is integrated into IT environments.

Participants will analyse threat actors, attack vectors, and social engineering techniques, and apply mitigation strategies using cryptographic solutions such as encryption, hashing, and public key infrastructure (PKI). The module also develops competencies in identity and access management (IAM), secure network architecture, and remote access technologies.

Participants will further explore cloud security, Zero Trust concepts, and system resilience practices, including asset protection and physical security.

Aligned with the CompTIA Security+ syllabus, this course prepares participants for advanced training in Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking, as well as the CompTIA Security+ certification examination.
