Description
Introduction to the Course
- "Through this course, we will give you a comprehensive introduction to Network Security. Indeed, we will explain the technical concepts; the level will therefore be accessible to everyone. If you already have computer prerequisites, this will undoubtedly be useful, but it is not mandatory."
Starting with the Basics
- "In the first learning section, we will speak on the security professional, threats to cyber security, types of security attacks, and physical security."
Mitigation Techniques

Within an active directory not only can you harden user accounts through the use of GPOs and file sharing permissions, but also an array of many other security enhancements that AD provides, such as CAs, group permissions, and creating least privileged policies."
Conclusion and Key Takeaways
- "In conclusion, this course will give you a lot of technical and conceptual information for you to be able to secure a network with at least the minimum guidelines. When it comes to security, you must use a layered approach and add some sort of security from top to bottom."
