Monitoring and Securing the DFI EnvironmentThis lesson is the project lesson for Defending and Securing Systems course. Course 4: Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Incident Response Build the expertise to handle real-world cyber incidents. Identify threats, analyze vulnerabilities, and apply structured response procedures to minimize damage and recover quickly from security breaches.17 hoursIntro to Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Incident ResponseMeet your instructor, discuss what you'll learn in this course, major stakeholders and a brief history, and a peek at the final project! Assessing ThreatsThis lesson will cover threats and vulnerabilities, attack types, threat motivations, threats to organizations, and threat responses. Finding Security VulnerabilitiesIn this lesson, we'll be discussing attack methods, scanning for vulnerabilities, and penetration testing. Fixing Security VulnerabilitiesWe're going to cover how to conduct vulnerability research, test and apply results, and how to prioritize and strategize the results in this lesson.Preparing for Inevitable AttacksFinally, we're going to cover incidents and recovery, events and incidents, the response lifecycle, and roles and response plans. Navigating a Cybersecurity IncidentDuring the project, you'll summarize and profile a cyber threat, conduct a vulnerability scan, research, analyze and prioritize vulnerabilities, and finally - document incident response actions.Course 5: Governance, Risk, and Compliance This course provides an overview of governance, risk, and compliance. It focuses on the importance of GRC, identifying GRC concerns, and ways to mitigate those concerns.20 hoursGRC OverviewIn this lesson, we’ll be outlining the basic course structure and discussing the prerequisites that you should possess before taking the course. Introduction to Governance, Risk, and ComplianceDuring this lesson, we will lay the groundwork for the rest of the course by developing a definition for Security GRC and briefly introducing how GRC roles function today.GovernanceThis lesson focuses on the role of security governance. This is what puts the “G” in GRC.RiskIn this lesson we’ll learn how risk management has evolved over time into today’s security risk management practice and explore some of the tools risk managers use.ComplianceCompliance deals with a relatively structured approach to ensuring organizations meet their obligations to security standards through their security controls and practices.Audit ManagementThe lesson focuses on ensuring that audits go smoothly by developing an understanding of audit management fundamentals and how GRC professionals should plan for and remediate audit results.SwiftTech ReportApply the skills you have acquired to analyze data provided about a fictional technology company and create fundamental components of the company’s GRC program.Course 6: Congratulations!
