Cybersecurity Network Defense Pathway Summary
Cybersecurity is all about keeping today’s digital world safe. In this learning path, you’ll start by mastering the essential techniques for spotting threats, protecting data, and responding to incidents. You’ll then get hands-on with Cisco’s industry-standard tools, secure and maintain IT infrastructure as a Cybersecurity Information Technology Specialist, and adopt an ethical hacker’s mindset to find and fix vulnerabilities. When things go wrong, you’ll use forensic methods to trace what happened, and you’ll cap it all off by designing and implementing Network Defense strategies that keep attackers at bay.
Together, these six areas—core Cybersecurity skills, Cisco Cybersecurity, IT Specialist, Ethical Hacking, Forensics, and Network Defense—form a 360° toolkit. Each builds on the others so you can think like an attacker, shore up defenses, investigate breaches, and architect resilient networks. Whether you aim to be an analyst, penetration tester, forensic investigator, or network defender, this pathway equips you with the real-world expertise you need to step confidently into any cybersecurity role.
