The field of technology is growing exponentially with the IT sector flourishing every day. Amidst such growth of the industry and increased concern for privacy, the demand for security is rising. Cybersecurity has become an everyday struggle for many businesses. Recent trends and statistics reveal that there is a huge increase in hacked and breached data from very common sources at workplaces. So go for this course to get a better understanding of cyber security!

Most of the people are often confused when they are asked - “WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?” The most common reply is - “UM, HACKING. ” Well, hacking is part of cyber security but it doesn’t mean that hacking is the synonym of cyber security. Many courses out there only teach how to use the tool but the reasoning that goes behind its selection is not taught. Also, the main focus of these courses is on hacking but it is not the only domain in cyber security. Other major domains are Incident Response Management, Blue team, Security Audits, IT Security Management, Security laws and many more.

" I was doubting on this course as this was a new one on Udemy . But getting started with the course gave me a good insight of Cyber Security and all my concepts were cleared about Computer Networking in the first section itself. No course based on Cyber Security includes Networking but this course has covered the same so I preferred this course. " ~ Sonia Sharma

Well University of Maryland, United States, says,

Hackers attack every 39 seconds, on average 2,244 times a day.

So are you sure that your data is well protected from these hackers? Have you even configured your network to control your privacy? Do you know how hackers can access your devices without your knowledge?? Well, don’t worry! We are here to answer these questions. There must be many questions in your mind regarding this course. We will surely address all once you enroll for this course, but for the time being, we’ll focus on the following questions:

â— WHY SHOULD I LEARN CYBER SECURITY?

Let’s face it. We live in a digital world. Our work lives, personal lives, and finances have all begun gravitating toward the world of the internet, mobile computing, and electronic media. Unfortunately, this widespread phenomenon makes us more vulnerable than ever to malicious attacks, invasions of privacy, fraud, and other such frightening cases. This is why cyber security is such a vital part of a secure and well-ordered digital world. Cybersecurity keeps us safe from hackers, cyber criminals, and other agents of fraud.

But let me ask you a question,

â— HOW GOOD IS YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT CYBER SECURITY?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" This course is very useful for learning the basics of cyber security. I was not familiar with the terms at first but after opting for learning something new I learned new terms. The instructors are very helpful and they make us understand the concepts in ease and the explanation provided by them is very quick to grasp. So thank you for sharing this amazing course." ~ Madhura Risbud
