Description

Course Overview: Networking Fundamentals for CybersecurityMany newcomers to the cybersecurity field often dive straight into Security+ practical training without a solid foundation in networking or systems. This can lead to frustration when they are tasked with accessing routers or Active Directory on Windows servers without basic knowledge. This course is specifically designed to address these challenges by focusing on networking fundamentals for aspiring cybersecurity professionals. We typically recommend that absolute beginners start by honing their IT support level skills before gradually progressing to networking, systems administration, and then cybersecurity. This approach helps reduce stress and ensures a smoother transition to practical cybersecurity skills.This course serves as your entry point into a cybersecurity career by providing you with a solid understanding of the basics. We ensure that you grasp the essential concepts before tackling more complex topics. For those interested in delving deeper into networking, especially with Cisco systems, we recommend trying our 'Network and Systems Administration' Course. Here, we concentrate on fundamental networking principles crucial for cybersecurity roles. Understanding how computer networks function is vital as almost every major company relies on them before embarking on cybersecurity tasks. This course will equip you with the necessary networking skills.Our team has created videos for these labs to offer you practical experience. However, we're not delving too deeply into labs in this course; our focus remains on simplicity and emphasizing the basics. As you progress into more advanced courses, like Linux and cybersecurity, you'll have ample opportunities to immerse yourself in hands-on labs. For now, concentrate on watching the videos, engaging in practice, and you'll be well-prepared to take the next steps in your cybersecurity journey.
