Animated preview
Security is mostly people and habits, with a few technical tools on top. We start with how attacks really happen, from phishing to weak passwords to unpatched software, then build up to networks, devices and incident response.
This is a defender's course. You learn to protect, detect and respond, in plain language, with practical labs rather than theory alone.
What you will build
- A security audit of a small office setup
- A phishing-awareness session you can deliver
- A personal and business backup and recovery plan
