SEC-100 CyberCore - Security Essentials is the fundamental course for cybersecurity. Providing learners with the basic understanding of the world of cybersecurity, from an understanding of the terminology and programming skills required, to a broad overview of the offensive, defensive, build, and personal capabilities that an individual should have to launch a career in this growing industry. It creates a foundation for those who know they want a role in cybersecurity but aren't sure where to start. Learners will explore topics such as:

  • Understanding the anatomy of cybersecurity and the CIA Triad (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability), a foundational model that defines core security objectives
  • Integrating industry-recognized frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 to implement effective security practices
  • Addressing the risks and vulnerabilities associated with cloud computing as organizations migrate applications and infrastructure to the cloud
  • Examining AI's influence in cybersecurity, both as a threat and as a tool to enhance offensive and defensive capabilities
  • Exploring what a Penetration Test (Pentest) is, how they are performed, and what their objectives are
  • Completing a self-assessment to review skills, and learning how to create a resume or CV that aligns with cybersecurity career opportunities

After completing the course and the labs within them, learners can expect to be prepared to complete the OSCC-SEC exam certification, showcasing their ability to take on information security positions.

Each participant in an authorized OffSec SEC-100 training held at Compendium CE receives a “OffSec CyberCore” license, which includes, among other benefits, a free OSCC-SEC exam voucher.
