Module 4: Authentication and Access Control
Lesson 1: Proving Who You Are Passwords, biometrics, and multi-factor authentication Why some methods are stronger than others Lesson 2: Managing Who Gets Access Understand roles and permissions (like admin vs user) Lab: Set up access controls in a simulated environment

Module 5: Secure Network Architecture
Lesson 1: Building Safe Networks Learn what firewalls, VPNs, and DMZs do See how networks are designed to protect data Lesson 2: Try Building One Use tools like Cisco Packet Tracer to create a secure network layout Group activity: Design a secure network for a small company

Module 6: Operating System and Application Security
Lesson 1: Locking Down Your Computer How to “harden” (secure) Windows or Linux systems Why updates and patches matter Lesson 2: Safe Apps and Secure Code How developers build secure apps Lab: Practice fixing insecure settings on test systems

Module 7: Risk Management and Security Policies
Lesson 1: What Could Go Wrong? (Risk) Learn how to spot possible security problems before they happen Understand the difference between risk, threats, and vulnerabilities Lesson 2: Making the Rules (Security Policies) Write simple security rules for a company Group activity: Create a policy for using passwords or mobile devices

Module 8: Identity and Access Management (IAM)
Lesson 1: Managing Digital Identities How systems know who you are and what you can do Learn about tools like SSO (Single Sign-On) and OAuth Lesson 2: Try IAM Yourself Lab: Set up user permissions in a cloud tool like AWS or Google Cloud Role-play: Assigning access levels to different employees

Module 9: Incident Response and Digital Forensics
Lesson 1: When Things Go Wrong Learn how companies respond to attacks Incident Response steps: Detect, Contain, Eradicate, Recover Lesson 2: Investigating a Cyber Attack Practice reading logs and finding suspicious activity Group activity: Solve a simple cyberattack scenario

Module 10: Legal, Ethical, and Regulatory Issues
esson 1: Cyber Laws You Should Know Overview of laws like GDPR, HIPAA, and cybercrime laws What happens if companies don’t follow them? Lesson 2: Right vs. Wrong in Cybersecurity Debate: Should the government have access to encrypted data? Ethics case study: Whistleblowers and white-hat hackers

Module 11: Security Auditing and Compliance
Lesson 1: Checking If Systems Are Secure What is a security audit and why it matters Intro to common standards (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001) Lesson 2: Hands-On Audit Activity Use a checklist to “audit” a sample system Practice: Look for gaps and suggest fixes

Module 12: Emerging Threats and Technologies
Lesson 1: New Tech = New Risks Learn about AI in cybersecurity, cloud security, IoT threats What is Zero Trust, and why is it the new trend?
