Cybersecurity Engineer

Training Description: Cybersecurity Engineer

Course Overview: The Cybersecurity Engineer training is designed to equip professionals with the skills necessary to design, deploy, and manage robust cybersecurity solutions within an organization. This comprehensive program covers advanced concepts in cybersecurity, from understanding attacks and threats to implementing protection, detection, and incident response measures. The goal is to provide deep technical expertise and practical skills needed to secure complex infrastructures and protect sensitive data against growing cyber threats.

Participants will learn to anticipate, identify, and neutralize threats while applying best practices to secure networks, systems, and applications.

Training Objectives:

• Gain in-depth knowledge of cyber threats and vulnerabilities in information systems.
• Master key cybersecurity concepts, including security policies, risk management, and data protection.
• Design and implement security infrastructures tailored to business needs.
• Deploy solutions for detecting, preventing, and responding to security incidents.
• Work with key cybersecurity technologies and tools, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, antivirus, identity and access management (IAM), and data encryption.
• Perform penetration tests (pentests) and security audits to evaluate system robustness.
• Prepare for professional cybersecurity certifications such as CISSP, CEH, CompTIA Security+, etc.

Course Curriculum:

Introduction to Cybersecurity

• Fundamental cybersecurity concepts: CIA (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability).
• Types of threats and attacks (phishing, ransomware, DDoS, APT, etc.).
• Roles and responsibilities of cybersecurity engineers.

Secure System Architecture and Design

• Secure design principles: Zero Trust, network segmentation, defense in depth.
• Network security: firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, network traffic analysis.
• Vulnerability management and patch implementation.

Securing Applications and Databases

• Securing applications: secure development, penetration testing (pentests), DevSecOps practices.
• Database protection: encryption, access management, SQL injection prevention.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

• Identity and access management models: RBAC, LDAP, SSO.
• Implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Managing passwords and privileges.

Cryptography and Data Security

• Cryptography concepts: encrypting, hashing, and signing data.
• Data security protocols: TLS/SSL, IPSec, VPN.
• Implementing key management solutions.

Securing Physical and Virtualized Infrastructures

• Securing physical systems: servers, wired and wireless networks.
• Securing virtual environments: virtual machines, containers.
• Cloud security: public and private cloud solutions (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud).

Incident Management and Attack Response

• Developing and implementing an incident response plan.
• Incident management processes: identification, containment, analysis, and eradication.
• Crisis management and disaster recovery (DRP).

Security Audits and Penetration Testing

• Penetration testing principles: methodology, tools, and techniques.
• Performing pentests on systems, networks, and applications.
• Security assessment of infrastructures via internal and external audits.

Compliance, Legislation, and Best Practices

• Regulations and standards: GDPR, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, NIST, etc.
• Implementing security best practices: risk management, security governance, regular security audits.

Cybersecurity Automation

• Automating security processes: SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response).
• Tools and techniques for automating threat detection and response.
• Log analysis, alert management, and SIEM solution integration.

Certification Preparation and Exam Readiness

• Preparing for cybersecurity certifications: CISSP, CEH, CompTIA Security+, etc.
• Practice exams and revision tips.

Course Duration: The Cybersecurity Engineer training spans 8 to 10 weeks, with self-paced online sessions. You will be trained through theoretical courses, practical demonstrations, case studies, skill tests, and simulated attacks in a controlled environment.

Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of system and network administration.
• Previous IT experience is highly recommended.
• Understanding of operating systems, networks, and basic cybersecurity principles.

Target Audience:

• Systems and network engineers looking to specialize in cybersecurity.
• IT managers and technical directors.
• IT security professionals seeking to enhance their technical skills.
• Anyone interested in advancing to a cybersecurity engineering role in the private or public sector.

Certification: A certificate of completion will be awarded at the end of the course, and you will be prepared to obtain globally recognized certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or CompTIA Security+.
