Explores system and network security essentials including threat-attack techniques and malware behavior

Original Description

Modern cyberattacks target systems, networks, cloud infrastructure, and connected devices — and organizations need professionals who understand how these attacks really work. This course lays the groundwork for system and network security by examining real-world threat-attack techniques, malware behavior, and other network evasion tactics common to most modern breaches. You will learn about the mechanics of password attacks, authentication vulnerabilities, privilege escalation principles, malware propagation patterns, as well as static and dynamic analysis details. The course also covers network sniffing, ARP poisoning, IDS/IPS detection logic, firewall evasion concepts, and Endpoint bypass techniques. Then, you will be exposed to the latest threat trends such as AI-based malware, ransomware-as-a-service ecosystem, cloud privilege escalation risk, and IoT/OT attack surface. Designed for security-focused learners, this course strengthens attacker methodology understanding while reinforcing defensive monitoring and detection perspectives used in real enterprise security operations.
