This specialization offers a hands-on journey into identifying and mitigating cyber threats through real-world simulations. Learn to analyze suspicious behavior, detect attack types like SQL injection and DDoS, and apply preventive strategies using hashing and encryption. Secure password flows using SHA-256, simulate block cipher modes like ECB and CBC, and explore their real-world use in protecting sensitive data such as credit card and healthcare information. By the end of this program, you will be able to: - Detect Common Threats: Analyze logs to identify SQL injection or DDoS attacks - Implement Defensive Measures: Apply hashing techniques and secure storage for user credentials - Strengthen Data Security: Simulate encryption using ECB and CBC to protect critical assets - Apply to Real-World Scenarios: Understand how hashing and encryption secure enterprise systems Ideal for aspiring cybersecurity professionals, IT analysts, and tech learners seeking a strong foundation in system security and threat prevention.
