Course 4 of the Cybersecurity Prep Program
Created by Dr. Rose Shumba, a Computer Science professor, and tech mentor featured in the New York Times for her high-impact internship programs, she received the University System of MD 2024 Elkins Transformation Award to explore establishing an Experiential Learning Center. With over 25 years of experience mentoring and building employer partnerships, she's helped hundreds of students land full-time roles at companies at high-tech companies.
What If You Could Finally Say:
"I can automate security tasks with Python and implement advanced system protections that meet industry standards."
Instead of manually performing repetitive security tasks or struggling to understand compliance requirements, what if you could write scripts that automate security operations and implement modern protection strategies that align with industry frameworks?
Does This Sound Familiar?
- You understand security concepts but lack programming skills to automate tasks
- You're unsure how to implement comprehensive operating system security measures
- You're confused by compliance frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001
- You want to adopt modern Zero Trust security approaches but don't know where to start
- You need practical skills that will help you advance into security operations roles
Imagine Where You Could Be Just Weeks From Now…
Python for Cybersecurity
- Writing Python scripts that automate security monitoring and testing
- Implementing comprehensive security controls across operating systems
- Understanding and applying industry compliance frameworks
- Designing security systems based on Zero Trust principles
- Building practical skills that prepare you for advanced cybersecurity roles
What You'll Learn (and Why It Matters):
Python for Cybersecurity → Write scripts to scan networks, monitor systems, and test vulnerabilities So you can automate tasks and proactively identify security risks across your environment.
Operating Systems Security → Configure access controls, encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems So you can secure data, prevent unauthorized access, and build layered defenses across platforms.
Compliance and Governance → Explore frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and HIPAA So you can manage risks effectively and ensure your security practices meet industry and regulatory standards.
Zero Trust Security Models → Learn modern approaches to identity management and endpoint security So you can control access based on strict verification and protect devices in any environment.
What's Included:
- 4 comprehensive course modules
- Python code libraries and templates
- Lifetime access to all course materials and updates
