  • Build a practical security checklist for personal or small business use

Course Content

Introduction to Security Fundamentals
This topic lays the groundwork for the course by introducing core security principles and helping students understand the broader landscape of cyber threats they'll be defending against.

Application Security
This topic focuses on securing software applications, covering the most common vulnerabilities attackers exploit and how developers can write and test code more securely.

Network Security
This topic covers how networks are protected from unauthorized access and attacks, introducing key tools and techniques used to defend network infrastructure.

Device & Endpoint Security
This topic covers how to secure individual devices and endpoints, which are often the entry point attackers use to compromise larger systems.

Practical Security Practices
This topic covers day-to-day security practices that significantly reduce risk, focusing on habits and processes that apply across applications, networks, and devices.

Hands-On Project
This final topic lets students apply everything learned throughout the course by conducting a real security audit and creating a practical security checklist.
