It is estimated that there will be about 1.5 million unfilled jobs in cyber security by the year 2020. A more recent statistic increased this number forcyber security unfilled jobs to be 3.5 million by the year2021. In addition,recent article highlights Cisco Systems intention to become a cyber security force. For these reasons, Cisco created the CCNA Cyber Ops certification, which can become one of the most certifications in demand in the near future. Furthermore, Cisco created a scholarship program for this certification, which emphasis its importance.
In this course you will learn about the tools that youcan usefor your study of the CCNA Cyber Ops certification and the current Cisco CyberOps Associate certification. Learning the theory side is important, but the hands on side is more important, since the main purpose of your study is to apply your knowledge in production, and since your hands onwill enforce your theory knowledge.You can not teach someone how to drive a car by showing him or her how to do it, but you have to let him try and practice how to do that. Furthermore, showing you hands on labs and how to use toolswithout teaching you how to createthese labs and install these tools,might not give you the ultimate benefit from your study .For this reason, I have created this course to teach you how tocreate your own home labs, and to understand the core usage and important features of the tools used in them. I believe in the saying: "Giveamanafishandyoufeedhimforaday;teachamantofishandyoufeedhimforalifetime". If you have access to online labs, such asthat offered by Cisco through their scholarship, you still need to know how to create your own home labs to continue practicing and experimenting,which is what this course willhelp you to achieve.On the other hand, this course will prepare you to go through theseonline labs quickly, and with confidence, since you will befamiliar with the tools used in them.And notjust online labs, but any other hands onCyberOpscourses,like what I intend to publish in the near future.
This course will teach you how to use the following tools:
Security Onion (Including VM installation, working with PCAP files, ELSA, Sguil. Squert, and Kibana).
Wireshark.
Kali Linux.
Metasploit.
Nmap.
VirtualBox.
GNS3.
This course includes several practical assignments and a practice test, in order to asses your understanding of the material included. I strongly recommend that you try the assignments and answer the question included in them, after trying solving the task practically, or even after watching the solution video. Each assignment will give you thorough and comprehensive understanding of the related topic.
I hope that you will join me in this course and start your Cyber security journey. Happy learning!
