Welcome to Section one and this video, we're going to cover what exactly we're going to go over in
this section, in this section, we're going to go over the foundations of understanding what exactly
is cybersecurity, what exactly is ethical hacking.
I want you to get a foundational big picture understanding of the actual marketplace of the actual type
of careers that are available out there and really get you that understanding that is required in order
for you to be able to step into a lot more in-depth, more specific topics within the cybersecurity
and ethical hacking space.
So let's go over exactly what you're going to learn in this section.
So in Section one, what you're going to learn is exactly how the cybersecurity market looks like at
this particular time.
And what are the cybersecurity salary potentials when starting out and what is the average cybersecurity
salary for somebody with some experience and what you can expect as far as a median salary for the cybersecurity
professional.
And then we're going to go over the common methods of hacking.
What are some of the most common methods that hackers use and what are the things you should look out
for and understand before going into a lot more deeper topics within the cybersecurity field and then
the three types of hackers?
This is really important here because you need to understand the different types of hackers and which
one of these is going to make the most sense for you, because for the most part, you're taking this
course because you want to become an ethical hacker, you want to work for an organization, you want
to work maybe as a freelancer or perhaps you want to down the road, do some kind consulting.
And so it's important for you to understand what three different types of hackers are and which one
is going to make the most sense for you.
And for the most part, it's going to be somebody that is looking to work for some sort of organization
or helping businesses out there with their cybersecurity needs.
And the next thing that we're going to cover are the four elements of security.
This is really important here so that you can understand what these consist of and how you need to navigate
these and go about these four different elements of security.
And then we're going to cover the differences between ethical hacking and cybersecurity.
And you're going to be quite surprised to find out that a lot of times these two get different names
associated with them and different definitions.
But you'll come to find out and realize there's not much of a difference here.
There are little minor differences here and there, but for the most part, there's going to be a lot
of similarities.
So then after that, we're going to cover ethical hacking versus penetration testing.
What is the differences between these two?
What exactly is ethical hacking?
How that comes into play with penetration testing as well.
And then after that, we're going to go over the job opportunities in cybersecurity.
I'm going to show you the type of tiers that are involved, how you can get started as an ethical hacker,
and then the different job opportunities out there that are available for you in the marketplace.
So I'm excited for you to get started here.
I'm excited for you to jump into this section and we'll see you on the next one.
