Project: Cybersecurity Fundamentals

Summary

The course culminates with a project where you get to practice your fundamental cybersecurity skills using a case study based on real-life events.
In this course’s project, you’ll be given a scenario where you’re asked to help your friend secure his business’s Windows 10 computer. You’ll need to apply what you’ve learned throughout the course to improve the security and give recommendations. You’ll also need to make sure only needed applications are running. Lastly, there is a computer forensics challenges where you’ll need to determine what bad guys were doing on the computer.
You’ll be documenting all of this in your course report, just like the one I prepare for my clients when I perform security assessments.
It’s meant to be a fun way for you to get hands-on cybersecurity experience.
