The Cyber Primer (& labs) learning path (3hr 18m) aims to introduce the learner to the world of Information and Cyber Security. The course takes the learner through the eyes of an adversary – someone trying to infiltrate a computer's security using some of the steps of the Cyber Kill Chain, and showcases some real-world examples of the chain in-action. The learner first sees the theory and examples of how certain methods of the kill chain work, and can then view them in-action in software simulations and labs.
