>> Hey guys, welcome to
the Cyber Kill Chain course on Cybrary.
This is Abdulrahman Alnaim.
Today, we're going to introduce the course.
But first let me start by introducing myself.
My name is Abdulrahman Alnaim and I
hold a bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
My experience is mostly in cybersecurity includes
penetration testing, cybersecurity architecture,
governance risk and compliance, access management,
and I'm currently working as
a security engineer supporting security systems.
I hold a number of certificates including CISSP,
CISM, and CRISC.
If you are wondering if I got my CISSP by connecting
the CISSP book to my head using the USB cable,
actually that did not really
work and you have to study for it.
However, Cybrary has a great CISSP course
that I highly recommend.
The target audience for
this course are computer science and
cybersecurity students looking to
gain real world knowledge.
Also career professionals looking to make the jump into
cybersecurity would benefit a lot from this course.
The best way to protect from
a hacker is to think like a hacker,
and this is the intention of this course,
is to show you how hackers work.
Hopefully, at the end we'll show you how to
protect from these attacks.
Finally, engineers looking to
improve their understanding of security,
I promise you if you go through this course,
>> at the end, your next conversation with
>> the security team will be a lot easier.
The prerequisite for this course is basic knowledge in
cybersecurity attacks, Kali Linux.
If you are planning on following with the labs,
you need to install Kali Linux on your machine.
If you go to the resources page,
you'll find an additional readings links
to Kali Linux virtual machine.
You also need Internet connection,
which I assume you already have as you
are viewing this course.
Let's start with pre-assessment course.
This will help us determine
the knowledge that we gain at the end.
We're going to go through the
>> same questions at the end.
>> I'm not going to give you the answers now, however,
throughout the course I hope that
you remember these questions.
The first thing is,
what is the cyber kill chain?
Second is what are the seven steps of
the Lockheed Martin cyber kill chain?
What steps in the kill chain are passive and active?
Finally, how do we use the cyber kill chain in
designing a defense in depth model?
The learning objectives of this course is to introduce
the Lockheed Martin's cyber kill chain
and share the steps of that cyber kill chain.
It's a number of steps that we're going to learn about.
Go through each and every step and then go
through designing a defense in depth
using the cyber kill chain model.
I've added some additional readings
in the available resources links to
almost all of the tools that we
use during the course and
additional readings that you might find interesting.
Just a disclaimer, the cyber kill chain is
a trademark of Lockheed Martin.
The usage of the cyber kill chain in this course
is intended for educational purposes.
As I said, Lockheed Martin
did a great job in the cyber kill chain.
It's the best way to
teach how hackers attempt a targeted attack,
is using that kill chain.
A lot of times
courses tend to use the cyber kill chain
for that educational purpose.
In the next video, we're going to start the course.
We're going to jump into the cyber kill chain
and introduce the cyber kill chain. See you then.
