Cyber Security Essentials
Protect accounts, websites and networks — and learn the attacks from the defender side.
Small businesses lose money to the same five mistakes: reused passwords, no backups, an unpatched plugin, a phishing click and no access control. This course fixes all five, hands-on.
You work in a practice lab with virtual machines, run real scans and password audits against machines you own, and write the security checklist the academy itself uses.
What you will be able to do
- ["Spot phishing, weak passwords and unsafe logins", "Harden a WordPress site and a small office network", "Run a backup and recovery drill that actually restores", "Write a one-page security policy a team will follow"]
