CYBR 206 Attack Vectors

Explore techniques used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to, assault, and exploit a device or network. Attack vectors help unauthorized elements to exploit the vulnerabilities in the system or network, including the human element. Topics include network traffic signatures, configuration of network appliances, cryptography, intrusion detection systems, and network defense tools.
