Introduction to Cybersecurity

This course provides an overview of the field of cybersecurity. It covers core cybersecurity topics including computer system architectures, critical infrastructures, cyber threats and vulnerabilities, cryptography, information assurance, network security, and risk assessment and management. I became more familiar with fundamental security concepts, technologies, and practices. This course provides a foundation for further study in cybersecurity.

One of the labs I had to do that stuck out to me was lab one: remote and local exploitation. This was the first time I have ever done anything like this. In this virtual lab I had to follow along in the book. I had to look for any vulnerabilities and how it could get exploited scanning the firewall. There were also these flag questions I had to answer in the lab itself before completing it.
