This course is part of the
Cyber Foundation Pathway. Building on the technical skills gained in CFP modules 1 to 3 it introduces students to attack and defend techniques. Participants will take part in a penetration test against a fictional company network, discovering weaknesses and vulnerabilities and seeing how malicious actors could exploit these to gain access to systems and services. You will also learn how to conduct low level malware analysis, network incident response and basic computer and network forensics.
The assessment is not part of the residential course and must be booked following the module.
