This subject familiarises you with cyber security penetration testing and mitigation strategies for business. The subject starts by examining penetration testing tools as defined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). The subject then examines common threats and vulnerabilities, and how penetration testing tools and techniques encapsulated within Kali Linux can enumerate these. Along the way the subject also examines the mitigation strategies, operational controls and countermeasures needed to address the threats and vulnerabilities. You will apply this learning in practice by working in a group to complete a cyber security consultancy for an industry partner. By the end of the subject, you will be better prepared to apply cyber security knowledge to support and make improvements for business.
