About the course
Defensive Cyber Security is a proactive approach to protecting computer systems networks and individuals from attacks. The practice at it's core involves conducting a penetration test of computers and networks looking for vulnerabilities and weaknesses that attackers could exploit.
The Defensive Security Course is taught by qualified ex-military personnel with experience of working within the respective area within cyber security.
