• آشنایی با سیستم عاملهای ویندوز و لینوکس • آشنایی با شبکه های کامپیوتری • آشنایی با اصول اولیه و پایه امنیت

با این درک عمیق از نحوه عملکرد پروتکل‌های شبکه، ما توجه خود را به مهم‌ترین و پرکاربردترین ابزارهای خودکار شناسایی و کاهش تهدید در کسب و کار معطوف می‌کنیم. شما یاد خواهید گرفت که چگونه با این ابزارها قابلیت های تشخیص کارآمد را توسعه دهید، و متوجه خواهید شد که قوانین موجود چه می کنند و تشخیص می دهید که آیا آنها مفید هستند یا خیر. نتیجه این است که شما این دوره را با درک روشنی از نحوه ابزارسازی شبکه خود و انجام شکار دقیق تهدیدات، تجزیه و تحلیل حوادث، کالبدشکافی شبکه و بازسازی تهدیدها خواهید کرد. 

  چیزی که SEC503 را مهم می کند این است که ما شما را مجبور می کنیم مهارت های تفکر انتقادی خود را توسعه دهید و آنها را در این اصول عمیق به کار ببرید. این منجر به درک بسیار عمیق تری از تقریباً هر فناوری امنیتی مورد استفاده امروزی می شود. حفظ امنیت شبکه شما در محیط تهدید امروزی چالش برانگیزتر از همیشه است، به خصوص که شما خدمات بیشتری را به فضای ابری منتقل می کنید. چشم انداز امنیتی به طور مداوم از چیزی که زمانی فقط حفاظت محیطی بود به محافظت از سیستم در معرض و متحرک که تقریباً همیشه متصل و گاهی آسیب پذیر هستند تغییر می کند
