This program has been uniquely mapped to key job skills required in cybersecurity analyst roles. In each course, you’ll be able to consolidate what you have learned by completing a capstone project that simulates real-world cybersecurity scenarios. You’ll also complete a final capstone project where you’ll create your own cybersecurity proposal for the creation and protection of a business network and infrastructure. The projects will include practicing on:
A real-world scenario focused on penetration testing, building configuration, and testing strategy for white box testing of a penetration test on virtual networks.
A real-world capstone project that enables you to demonstrate your cybersecurity analyst skills.
To round off your learning, you’ll take a mock exam that has been set up in a similar style to the industry-recognized Microsoft Exam SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals.
