Applied Learning Project
This program has been uniquely mapped to key job skills required in cybersecurity analyst roles. In each course, you’ll be able to consolidate what you have learned by completing a capstone project that simulates real-world cybersecurity scenarios. You’ll also complete a final capstone project where you’ll create your own cybersecurity proposal for the creation and protection of a business network and infrastructure.
To round off your learning, you’ll also take a mock exam that has been set up in a similar style to the industry-recognized Microsoft Exam SC-900: Microsoft Security, Compliance, and Identity Fundamentals.
The projects will include practicing on:
-
A real-world scenario focused on penetration testing, building configuration, and testing strategy for white box testing of a penetration test on virtual networks.
-
A real-world capstone project that enables you to demonstrate your cybersecurity analyst skills.
