About

“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.

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 will be about vulnerabilities, which are weaknesses or flaws in cybersecurity that can be exploited by attackers to gain personal benefit or for a motive. More specifically, we will go over explaining application, hardware, mobile device, virtualization, operating system (OS)-based, cloud-specific, web-based, and supply chain vulnerabilities. I know it a bit much, but you should know all of them if you are truly interested.

I won’t be talking nonstop for 75 minutes straight... I’m not that cruel.
It will be YOU that does some of the talking... sometimes at least.
