Learn how attackers and defenders think, how data is protected, and how real world systems are attacked and defended in practice.

This module introduces core cyber security concepts by exploring how systems are attacked and defended. You'll discover what the CIA Triad is, how cryptography keeps data safe, and what it means to think like both a hacker and a defender. By the end, you'll have a solid foundation for understanding how cyber attacks happen and how they're stopped

What are modules?

A learning pathway is made up of modules, and a module is made of bite-sized rooms (think of a room like a mini security lab).
