Protect Networks, Devices, and Data Through Advanced Security Practices
Ages 12–17 | Advanced Course
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, and data from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. This advanced course teaches students how to identify vulnerabilities, implement security measures, and defend against cyber threats using industry-standard practices.
Learn the cybersecurity practices used by professionals. Gain skills that are in high demand in the job market.
Practice implementing real security measures. Set up firewalls, create secure networks, and test security systems.
Designed for students ages 12–17 with a foundational understanding of computers and networking.
Understand the core principles of cybersecurity and how different layers of protection work together to keep systems safe.
Learn Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—the three pillars of information security.
Discover essential practices: authentication, authorization, access control, and security policies.
Identify potential threats, assess vulnerabilities, and evaluate security risks in systems.
Encryption protects data even if someone gains unauthorized access. Learn how encryption algorithms work, manage cryptographic keys, and understand symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption.
Understand symmetric encryption (AES), asymmetric encryption (RSA), and when to use each method.
Learn how to generate, store, and manage cryptographic keys securely. Understand key rotation and protection.
Explore how websites secure data transmission using encryption certificates and protocols.
Protect entire networks from intrusion. Learn firewall configuration, network monitoring, and detection systems to keep data flowing safely.
Configure firewalls to control traffic. Set up Intrusion Detection Systems to identify suspicious activity.
Use Virtual Private Networks to create secure connections. Understand tunneling and secure protocols.
Divide networks into secure zones. Implement access controls to limit exposure in case of a breach.
Understanding threats is the first step to preventing them. Learn about common attacks, malware, and vulnerabilities used by attackers.
Identify viruses, trojans, ransomware, and worms. Understand how attacks work and their impact.
Learn how attackers manipulate people. Identify phishing attempts and develop human-centered security.
Find and understand security flaws in code. Learn about patch management and vulnerability disclosure.
Effective security requires a comprehensive approach. Learn how to design, implement, and maintain a complete cybersecurity defense system.
Layer multiple security measures. If one defense fails, others still protect your system.
Prepare for attacks. Learn how to detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents.
Evaluate your security posture. Conduct penetration testing and security audits to find weaknesses.
