A plain-English introduction to how common attacks work and which controls stop them. Each module walks through real attack techniques at a conceptual level, the defenses that address them, and an exercise that applies the ideas to an organization you know. No lab or special software is required.
Eighteen written lessons across six modules. Lesson 1 is a free preview. The material overlaps with topics in entry-level security exams such as CompTIA Security+, but this is independent study material: it is not affiliated with or endorsed by any exam provider, and no certification, license or credential is awarded.
