“Oh no! The hackers are attacking! What do we do?”
Cybersecurity is without a doubt, a necessity of the internet. Without cybersecurity, it would be extremely easy for anyone, even someone with basic knowledge, to gain access to things they aren't suppose to, or to change the original message that is being sent. But what exactly is preventing Hackers, Hacktivists, or cybercriminals from not being able to see confidential information? That is what we will discover, HOW does cybersecurity protect the internet, and the methods that are used in order to do so. Additionally, we will also discover what threats exist, and how people are allowed to get into certain places of the internet. So to requote my previous question.
“Oh no! The hackers are attacking! What do we do?”
By the end, you’ll understand the tools, strategies, and best practices to defend against cyber threats, and you’ll know exactly what to do when attacks happen.

Hello, I'm Gent V, currently in high school, and I'm looking forward to teach interesting content that is usually hidden but absolutely has a high-value skills. There is often content that can be beneficial in your life, however, it doesn't reach most platforms. My objective is to try to teach unique skills and knowledge that isn't offered in many corners of the internet. I would be honored to be your teacher.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
1. The classes schedule is every Monday and Friday at 7:45 PM.
2. If you are require to leave the class or you can't make, It is completely fine and I will provide you the additional information that you need. If it is consistent however, I will ask for context just to ensure that you're okay.
3. Make sure to ask questions on anything that isn't clear, as my history teacher says "The only stupid questions is the questions you don't ask."
4. Be respectful towards your comrades, they are people too.

This lesson won't take long.
This lesson will be mostly introducing ourselves with basic information, nothing that is needed to be specific. we will define "cybersecurity", with real world examples, and I will try to make you understand how important it is. (Hint: VERY important). After learning about the purpose of cybersecurity, we’ll explore the CIA Triad, a core concept that categorizes the three key parts of cybersecurity and helps us understand how security truly works. (that is also important)
And just to be clear, CIA in this case has nothing to do with the U.S. government lol.
(Extra unrelated note: government or third-party audits are actually pretty cool!)

Yes, the general amount of time is 70 minutes since we meet only once a week, but sometimes we might end it early.
This lesson will be right next to what we have learned about the CIA Triad, This will be about the idea of Non-repudiation, as well as the AAA, which go hand and hand with the CIA Triad, Additionally, you will NEED to know what encryption and decryption is. CIA Triad, AAA, Non-repudiation, Encryption and Decryption are core concepts of cybersecurity, KNOW THEM PLEASE!
After all of that is cemented into our brains. I will explain to you what zero trust is, as well as the control and data place. Finally, we will end it off with physical security, because you don't want a group of 12 year olds to gain access to your private information with their Minecraft swords.
I won’t be talking nonstop for 70 minutes straight... I’m not that cruel.
It will be YOU that does some of the talking... sometimes at least.

WOAH! The art of deception just so happens to be useful in cybersecurity.
We will go over deception/disruption technology (aka, guide to trick hackers 101), in that we will understand a honeypot, honeynet, and honey file. After that, there will be an important rant about Business processes impacting security operation, in that there are many things that come to consideration when doing both business and cybersecurity at the same time. this will be a great amount of thingy's to learn, but it is needed.
Terms are: - Approval process, Ownership, Stakeholders, Impact analysis, Test results, Backout plan, Maintenance window, and Standard operating procedure.
If you are a cybersecurity intern in the future, you will need to be thinking about these things.
so deception is a bit of trolling for the hackers, business + cybersecurity is IMPORTANT!!!!!!!

Those hackers!!!! why are they attacking us?
Basically in this lesson, we will learn about threat actors(types of hackers) and their motives, pretty cool right?
Threat actors: Nation-state, Unskilled attacker, Hacktivist, Insider threat, Organized crime, and Shadow IT,
Motivations: Data exfiltration, Espionage, Service disruption, Blackmail, Financial gain, Philosophical/political beliefs, Ethical, Revenge, Disruption/chaos, and War.

The SOC Basics!
But what is SOC? it stands for Security Operations Center, and it means that you are constantly monitoring, searching, and checking for threats in a network
Basically, we're gonna be learning HOW to take care of threats, of course, it is rather simple to understand the topics of cybersecurity, but what are you going to do when there is a actual threat in your network? (ya know? the hackers!)
This is gonna to be similar to what you expect from a actual cybersecurity job.

Cybersecurity is really important, however, it isn’t just “good practice”. It is also about following government policies, but why do government policies even exist? because it is needed for order.
There are certain things that you have to follow by law in cybersecurity, certain information security policies and standards, as well as compliance frameworks that the company needs to follow (EX: ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR)
If a company audit you and finds that your not following policies, lets just say... your company could face fines, legal penalties, loss of customer trust, and you personally could be held accountable depending on your role.
ya, follow the law.

This lesson is a bit of the opposite of cybersecurity.
The question is this... How can hackers even hack into website, and find the perfect opportunity to attack in the first place?
Well, we going to be talking about the hacker methods to hack into billion dollar corporations using timing, patience, and reconnaissance.
Understanding these techniques doesn’t make us hackers, it makes us better defenders because WE should expect their every move.

Risk assessment and mitigation strategies in an organization.
there is no such thing as 0% risk, same how sprays kill 99.9% of bacteria, but not 100%
This will be a shorter class, because I have my CCNA January 4th, so i have to study, but I won't leave you folks out of a class.

So say that you wanted a predefined list of things that automatically doesn't allow for certain people to enter into your network.
That is the purpose of ACL, which stands for access control list and it's goal is to prevent certain traffic that isn't allow in the network, there is a stranded and extended ACL.
There will also be networking in this, since you need to know about networking(IP addresses, Protocols) in order to understand ACL.

Review on the CIA Triad and AAA(authentication authorization accounting)
We will be doing GAP ANALYZE!
So I will provide you an image of a building architecture or cybersecurity policy, and your job is to see what is wrong or incorrect with that image.
For example, if it was a image with the password policies and one of the rules was "password must include lowercase and uppercase letters" you could say "there is a GAP!, because a secure password would have numbers, special symbols, and to not include basic words in your password".
ya it's gonna be fun!

Tabletop exercise means we will talk about what to do when you are in a specific scenario.
basically, I will give you guys a hypothetical scenario that is happening inside of the company, such as a cybersecurity branch, phishing email, or physical breach, and we will simply discuss on what to do in the tabletop exercise.
I will put you on the SPOT!

This will be a MOCK INTERVIEW DAY!
so there will not be any slides or anything new that you will be learning about, what we will be doing is that I will ask you questions about you, your communication skills, how you present yourself, and how you explain your abilities.
I will ask you questions about yourself, your skills, and cybersecurity-related scenarios.
Answer as if this is a real job interview. (ya know because you certainly don't want to mess up when you are in a actual interview.)
