Understanding Security Threats
Welcome to the IT Security course of the IT Support Professional Certificate! In the first week of this course, we will cover the basics of security in an IT environment. We will learn how to define and recognize security risks, vulnerabilities and threats. We'll identify the most common security attacks in an organization and understand how security revolves around the "CIA" principle. By the end of this module, you will know the types of malicious software, network attacks, client-side attacks, and the essential security terms you'll see in the workplace.

Good course! A lab using some of the tools like Nessus, OpenVAS or Qualys, and a lab demonstrating
penetration testing or vulnerability scanning could help learners better visualize these processes.
I learn a tons in security, Thank you!
