Course Content

Module 1: Foundations of Cyber Security & Safe Computing
Cyber security has become one of the most important fields in the digital world as individuals, businesses, and governments rely heavily on computers, networks, cloud services, and online applications. Every day, millions of cyber attacks target personal devices, financial systems, healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and businesses worldwide. Understanding how these attacks happen and how to defend against them is the first step toward becoming a cyber security professional. In this module, students will learn the fundamental concepts of cyber security, including why information security is important, the different types of cyber threats, common attack techniques, cyber security principles, authentication mechanisms, password security, malware, phishing, and secure online practices. Students will also gain practical knowledge of operating systems, networking basics, and basic Linux commands that are commonly used by security professionals. By the end of this module, students will understand how attackers think, how organizations protect their digital assets, and how security professionals reduce cyber risks through preventive measures and best practices. These concepts build the foundation for ethical hacking, penetration testing, and security analysis covered in later modules.

  • Lesson 1: Introduction to Cyber Security
  • Lesson 2: Cyber Threats, Malware & Social Engineering
  • Lesson 3: Authentication, Password Security & Multi-Factor Authentication
  • Lesson 4: Linux Basics for Cyber Security
  • Cyber Security Fundamentals Assessment
  • Personal Cyber Security Risk Assessment

Module 2: Network Security, Web Security & Vulnerability Assessment
Modern organizations rely heavily on interconnected networks, cloud services, and web applications to deliver business operations. However, every connected system becomes a potential target for cyber attackers. Understanding how networks function, how web applications communicate, and how vulnerabilities are discovered is one of the most valuable skills for any cyber security professional. In this module, students will build a strong foundation in networking concepts, network security, web application security, and vulnerability assessment. They will learn how computers communicate over networks using protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS, DNS, and DHCP. Students will also explore common web application vulnerabilities, including SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), along with methods to identify and mitigate these threats. Additionally, students will gain hands-on experience with popular security tools such as Nmap for network scanning, Wireshark for packet analysis, and OWASP ZAP for basic web vulnerability assessment. By the end of this module, students will be able to understand network communication, identify common security weaknesses, perform basic vulnerability scans, and recommend security improvements.

Module 3: Ethical Hacking Fundamentals, Security Operations & Incident Response
Ethical hacking is the practice of legally testing computer systems, networks, and applications to identify security vulnerabilities before malicious attackers can exploit them. Organizations around the world hire ethical hackers, penetration testers, and security analysts to continuously assess their security posture and strengthen their defenses. In this module, students will learn the complete ethical hacking methodology, beginning with reconnaissance and information gathering, followed by vulnerability analysis, penetration testing fundamentals, and security operations. They will understand how security professionals legally simulate cyber attacks while following industry ethics and compliance standards. Students will also explore the fundamentals of Security Operations Centers (SOC), log monitoring, incident detection, and incident response. By learning how attacks are detected and managed, students gain a complete understanding of both offensive and defensive security. Practical exposure to tools such as theHarvester, Shodan, WHOIS, Nikto, and Fail2Ban will provide hands-on experience with commonly used security utilities. By the end of this module, students will be able to conduct authorized reconnaissance, understand penetration testing phases, analyze security logs, respond to basic incidents, and recommend security improvements using industry best practices.

Module 4: Final Capstone Project – Enterprise Security Assessment & Hardening
The final module is designed to consolidate everything learned throughout the internship into a comprehensive real-world cyber security project. Students will act as Junior Cyber Security Analysts responsible for assessing the security posture of a small organization's IT infrastructure, identifying security risks, performing vulnerability assessments, and recommending practical remediation measures. The project follows a simplified version of the security assessment process used by professional cyber security consulting firms. Students will perform network discovery, vulnerability assessment, basic web application testing, log analysis, and security hardening while documenting every stage of the engagement. Unlike previous mini-projects, this capstone emphasizes planning, documentation, reporting, and presentation. Students will demonstrate both technical and analytical skills while following ethical and legal guidelines. The final deliverable will resemble a professional security assessment report that can be included in a student portfolio. By successfully completing this project, students will gain confidence in applying foundational cyber security concepts in a realistic business scenario and will be prepared for beginner-level cyber security internships, SOC analyst roles, or further studies in ethical hacking and penetration testing.
