https://www.udemy.com/course/comptia-security-sy0-701-domain-2/
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.
