The Cybersecurity Fundamentals section highlights core courses that provide a strong foundation in cybersecurity concepts, techniques, and professional practices. These classes covered essential topics such as risk management, network security, security operations, cyber threats, and ethical considerations. Through a combination of discussions, research projects, and hands-on labs, I developed the technical skills and critical thinking abilities necessary for protecting information systems and responding to real-world cybersecurity challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This course provided an introduction to cybersecurity principles, focusing on threats, vulnerabilities, risk management, and security policies. Throughout the course, I participated in weekly discussions that helped me apply core concepts to real-world cybersecurity challenges and develop critical thinking around security issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
