CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) - Domain 2 - Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations
What you'll learn
Identify and understand various types of threats and threat actors.
Utilize threat intelligence to anticipate and defend against potential attacks.
Recognize and categorize common vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
Implement effective mitigation strategies to protect against threats and vulnerabilities.
Requirements
While not mandatory, having CompTIA A+ and Network+ certifications or equivalent knowledge is beneficial. These certifications provide a solid foundation in general IT and networking concepts that are built upon in the Security+ certification.
Description
This course is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the various threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies that are crucial to securing an organization's information systems. As part of the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) certification, Domain 2 focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating the threats and vulnerabilities that can compromise the security of information assets. Students will learn how to protect systems and data from a wide range of attacks and understand the best practices for maintaining a secure environment.Key Topics Covered:Types of Threats:Understanding different types of threats, including malware, phishing, social engineering, insider threats, and advanced persistent threats (APTs).Recognizing the characteristics and behaviors of various threat actors, such as hackers, nation-states, and cybercriminals.Threat Intelligence:Utilizing threat intelligence to anticipate and defend against potential attacks.Sources of threat intelligence, including open-source, commercial, and governmental feeds.Analyzing threat intelligence to inform security decisions and strategies.Vulnerabilities:Identifying and categorizing common vulnerabilities in software, hardware, and network systems.Understanding the causes and impacts of vulnerabilities, including zero-day vulnerabilities.Utilizing vulnerability databases and resources, such as the National Vulnerability Database (NVD).Exploits and Attack Techniques:Recognizing various attack techniques, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflow, and denial of service (DoS).Understanding the methods used by attackers to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorized access.Mitigation Strategies:Implementing controls to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities, including patch management, configuration management, and access controls.Applying security frameworks and best practices, such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO/IEC 27001.Security Assessments:Conducting security assessments, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security audits.Interpreting assessment results and implementing corrective actions to address identified risks.Incident Response:Developing and implementing an incident response plan (IRP).Identifying and responding to security incidents promptly.Conducting post-incident analysis to improve future response efforts.
Who this course is for
This course is ideal for IT professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge of threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigation strategies, as well as for those preparing for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) certification exam
