What Is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity involves guarding systems, networks, and programs against cyberattacks. The purpose of these cyberattacks is usually to access, alter, or destroy sensitive information; extort money from users; or interrupt normal business processes.
Because devices outnumber people today, and attackers are becoming more innovative, implementing effective cybersecurity measures is particularly challenging.
Why is cybersecurity important?
Modern cyber defense programs benefit everyone in our connected world. Individuals can suffer from identity theft, extortion attempts, and loss of important data such as family photos if they fall victim to a cyberattack.
Almost everyone depends on critical infrastructures like power plants, hospitals, and financial services. For our society to function, we must make sure these organizations are secure.
As well, the work of threat researchers like those at Talos, who examine new and emerging cybersecurity threats, benefits everyone.
As a result, new vulnerabilities are discovered, the public is educated on the importance of cybersecurity, and open source tools are strengthened. Everyone is safer on the Internet because of their work.
What you’ll learn in this course
Understand Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) v1.0 introduces you to security concepts, common network and application operations and attacks, and the types of information needed to investigate security incidents. As part of this course, you will learn how to monitor alerts and breaches, as well as how to follow established procedures for responding to alerts that become incidents.
Using lectures, hands-on labs, and self-study, you will gain an understanding of the IT infrastructure, operations, and vulnerabilities, including how to contribute to a Cybersecurity Operations Center (SOC). With this course, you’ll learn how to prepare for the Cisco CyberOps Associate certification and learn how to become a cybersecurity operations analyst in a security operations center. You can also earn 30 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification with this course.
Duration of the course
- An instructor-led course includes 5 days of class instruction and hands-on training, along with 3 days of self-study
- A virtual instructor-led class that includes hands-on practice, and an educational package consisting of 3 days of self-study material plus 5 days of instructor-led classes.
- The e-learning equivalent of 5 days of content with videos, practice, and challenges plus 3 days of self-study
How you’ll benefit
The following are the benefits of taking this course:
- As a member of a SOC, you will gain the fundamental skills, techniques, technologies, and hands-on experience needed to prevent and defend against cyberattacks
- Learn to pass the Cisco Certified Cyber Ops Associate 200-201 Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals (CBROPS) exam.
