Welcome to Auditing Fundamentals.
I'm your instructor, Josh Mason, and we're
going to dive into some auditing and some basics, really.
We'll start with cybersecurity basics,
talk about some frameworks and compliance, some cyber maturity
and how that fits in, get into auditing, finally.
And then we'll test things out in some labs.
You'll run some SCAP scans and look at them in STIG viewer,
run some Nessus scans and see what those return.
And we'll do some system auditing with Nmap.
There aren't very many prerequisites
for this course, just some basic networking concepts,
things that--
if you haven't looked at previous networking courses,
you're going to want to go back and review if you
don't understand something.
By the end of this course you should
be able to describe cybersecurity, identify
common frameworks and governing regulations,
and explain cyber maturity.
We're also going to be able to perform some network auditing.
We're going to teach you some tools and techniques.
And if you don't have permission to run these tools on a system,
than don't.
There are serious implications to yourself and the system
owner, so only run assessments and scans on systems
you are authorized to access.
With that, let's dive into the course.
