About Cyber Security

Cybersecurity support technicians detect cyber threats and implement changes to protect an organization. A Security Operations Center (SOC) team typically has several tiers of cybersecurity professionals who are responsible for monitoring, directing, containing, and remediating IT threats. Cybersecurity professionals may be tasked with anything from installing, administering, and troubleshooting security solutions to creating security policies and training documents for colleagues. While other IT job roles are responsible for specific parts of the overall system, cybersecurity professionals must be able to take a step back to see the big picture and keep every aspect of the system secure from threats. They may progress in their knowledge and training to become security analysts, cloud security engineers, threat hunters, penetration testers, and compliance managers.

Students will learn foundational cybersecurity topics including basic hardware, basic networking, cloud and virtualization technologies, operating systems, IT security, the basics of cryptography, software security, networking fundamentals, and basic system administration and all through the Kaizen Technology platform.
