Skill 3: Malware Prevention and Detection

Supporting Artifact 1: Learning about Malware and Other Types of Attacks

Brief Description: Of course, in order to do cybersecurity, you have to know what you’re getting into with the field. The module for this topic discussed what malware was, other type of attacks similar to it, and the attacker’s motivation/tactics. This allowed us to know the attacker’s perspective on things, to then prevent them from being able to succeed.

Supporting Artifact 2:  Knowing Vulnerabilities

Brief Description: This is similar to knowing about malware/other cyberattacks, but this time we learned about the different types of vulnerabilities and how they could affect our systems.
