This is the second course in the Cybersecurity Defense Analyst Career Path.
Cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics, and the companies that survive are the ones with security professionals who can anticipate, recognize, and neutralize threats before damage occurs. This course puts you inside the mind of an attacker, revealing the strategies they use so you can become the expert defender organizations need.
📚What You'll Learn
🔹You will be presented with stories based on real-life cybersecurity incidents through a web series called Once Upon an Attack. Learn about the most common cyber threats facing organizations, from phishing campaigns and malware to supply chain attacks and insider threats. You'll explore advanced persistent threats, recognize attack vectors, and understand the tactics cybercriminals use to compromise systems.
🔹The course introduces industry-standard frameworks including the MITRE ATT&CK matrix, the Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain, and the Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis. You'll also learn through the Pyramid of Pain how Indicators of compromise (IOCs) can help you prioritize your defense strategies.
Why this Course?
These cyber stories will help you see both the bigger picture of an incident and the small individual steps that are required to complete an attack. This understanding is important for you to piece together events, assess their impact, and uncover an attacker's ultimate objective.
