Summary

We are looking for expert in AI powered cyber security to record a series of training lectures as per the details listed below. The job will involve updating any content issues and video recording of the lesson and lab additional best practices. Detail details will be provided along with the whole course. ================================================================================ AI-POWERED CYBERSECURITY ANALYST — COURSE 100 Course Overview & Lesson Summary ================================================================================ DESIGN PRINCIPLE Offense and defense are harmonized into one continuous lifecycle — attack - detect - investigate - defend — taught against a single fictional company, Acme Corporation. Every lesson's lab adds one artifact to a growing capstone deliverable, the "Acme Security Assessment Workbook," assembled in Lesson 20. All tools are free and run on 16 GB hardware; the SIEM (Splunk Cloud, with a Wazuh fallback) is browser-hosted. CAPSTONE ARC Labs 1-4 SETUP concepts, lab build + Linux, network, identity + crypto Labs 5-8 CORE traffic, reconnaissance, scanning, exploitation Labs 9-12 EXPAND web, network/wireless, human risk, monitoring Labs 13-16 INTEGRATE incident response, forensics/intel, cloud, risk Labs 17-19 POLISH AI investigation, AI-assisted automation, full SOC run Lab 20 ASSEMBLE compile the Workbook, present findings STRUCTURE 20 lessons - exactly 20 slides per lesson - one hands-on lab per lesson - one continuous enterprise capstone. Prerequisites: basic IT literacy only no prior security, hacking, Linux, or command-line experience assumed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE 20 LESSONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LESSON 1 — Cybersecurity Foundations & the Threat Landscape The CIA triad, AAA, threat actors, and vulnerability-vs-threat-vs-risk. Establishes the vocabulary and the course lifecycle; lab plans the Acme asset inventory. LESSON 2 — Building the Lab & Linux Essentials with VirtualBox & Kali Deploy the isolated Acme VMs and learn the Linux command line from zero. Also covers the rules of engagement every later lab depends on. LESSON 3 — Networking & Network Security with Wireshark TCP/IP, ports, and the perimeter controls (firewall, IDS/IPS, proxy, VPN) plus segmentation. Capture and filter live traffic; design Acme's segmented network. LESSON 4 — Identity, Access Management & Cryptography with OpenSSL Access-control models, MFA, zero trust, and symmetric/asymmetric/hashing/ signatures. Validate a TLS certificate and remediate an identity misconfiguration. LESSON 5 — Traffic Analysis & the Offensive Mindset with Wireshark Reconstruct sessions in depth and learn the five phases of ethical hacking. Pairs every offensive stage with the indicator a defender would detect. LESSON 6 — Reconnaissance & Information Gathering with theHarvester & Nmap Footprinting, OSINT, and DNS/WHOIS enumeration against the scoped target. Compile a prioritized intelligence profile and candidate attack surface. LESSON 7 — Vulnerability Scanning & Enumeration with Nmap & Greenbone Host discovery, service/version enumeration, and authenticated vs unauthenticated scans. Map findings to CVE/CVSS and produce a prioritized, verified vulnerability report. LESSON 8 — System Hacking, Exploitation & Evasion with Metasploit Exploit confirmed weaknesses, escalate privilege, pivot, and establish persistence. Document the full exploitation chain mapped to detection and defense. LESSON 9 — Web Application Security with Burp Suite & OWASP Juice Shop The OWASP Top 10, plus SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and session flaws demonstrated with Burp. Remediate each with secure-development practices and reproduction steps. LESSON 10 — Network Attacks & Wireless Security with Aircrack-ng & Wireshark DoS, ARP/DNS spoofing, man-in-the-middle, and a wireless attack, run in the lab. Analyze your own captures to identify each attack by its indicators. LESSON 11 — Malware, Social Engineering & Human Risk with Gophish Malware types, phishing (including AI-generated), and psychological triggers. Run a controlled phishing campaign and extract indicators of compromise. LESSON 12 — Security Operations & Monitoring with Splunk The SOC, analyst tiers, and how a SIEM ingests, normalizes, and correlates logs. Build a detection rule on your Lesson 11 phishing IOCs; document a Wazuh fallback. LESSON 13 — Incident Response with Splunk The IR lifecycle: triage, scope, contain, eradicate, recover, lessons learned. Respond to an alert the monitoring raised, preserving evidence with chain of custody. LESSON 14 — Digital Forensics & Threat Intelligence with Autopsy & Volatility Disk and memory forensics, IOC vs IOA, and MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Reconstruct a corroborated, time-ordered incident timeline from the preserved evidence. LESSON 15 — Cloud, Mobile, IoT & OT Security with Prowler Cloud shared responsibility, CSPM scanning, data protection, MDM, and IoT/OT risks. Assess the combined architecture and prioritize misconfigurations across surfaces. LESSON 16 — Risk Management & Governance Qualitative and quantitative risk (SLE/ARO/ALE), governance, compliance, and BC/DR. Consolidate every finding into one risk-ranked, treated organizational register. LESSON 17 — AI for Cybersecurity How LLMs assist analysis, prompt-injection risk, and prompt engineering. Use AI to summarize logs and threat intel — and validate every output against evidence. LESSON 18 — AI-Assisted Ethical Hacking & Automation with Python & Jupyter AI-assisted recon/triage and Python scripts that parse scans, extract IOCs, and draft findings. Build a reusable toolkit, validating all AI-generated code. LESSON 19 — Security Analyst: End-to-End Investigation with Splunk Detect, investigate, contain, and report on a multi-stage attack in one continuous flow. Applies AI and the toolkit across every phase, validated throughout. LESSON 20 — Capstone: Acme Enterprise Cybersecurity Assessment Assemble all 19 artifacts into the Acme Security Assessment Workbook and executive briefing. Deliver a risk-ranked roadmap and a non-technical executive summary for leadership. ================================================================================ END OF COURSE OVERVIEW ================================================================================
