About the course

A Cybersecurity Specialist is an expert in the protection of IT systems who has knowledge of information security, networks, operating systems, cryptography, and practical methods of preventing cyber threats.

You will learn how to identify vulnerabilities, analyze risks, build secure infrastructure, respond to incidents, conduct pentests, and implement modern security practices in companies of all sizes.

This course combines fundamental theoretical knowledge with practical cases: from analyzing malicious traffic, setting up SIEM systems and protecting containers to building your own mini-SOC, conducting an attack on a test environment, setting up cloud security policies, and building a playbook for secure development.

Not only will you expand your technical expertise, but you'll also gain a complete understanding of how an attacker thinks to better protect yourself.

The course is ideal for

Developers who want to create secure applications from the first version

Sysadmins who want to deepen the protection of systems

Students of technical and mathematical specialties

Beginners in cybersecurity who want to deepen their knowledge
