UdemyLed by AI and cybersecurity expert Jordan Sauchuk, this course targets the gap many newcomers face: plenty of specialized material exists, but very little covers the shared foundational concepts every security professional needs first. It starts with core terminology and the major operational areas of the field before moving into hands-on practice.
The standout section walks you through setting up your own Capture The Flag (CTF) environment and then finding a vulnerability inside it — giving you a taste of offensive security thinking rather than just definitions.
Anyone curious about a cybersecurity career, or anyone in an unrelated role who wants to start applying security thinking to their day-to-day work. No prior experience is assumed.
Every cybersecurity engineer, analyst, penetration tester, or operator within the domain all have learned core concepts throughout their career, but these concepts can range depending on the area of expertise. For those interested in working in this field, or who want to apply cybersecurity knowledge to their careers, it can be a challenge to start with some foundational material.
