Course wrap-up

Congratulations on completing this course! Let's recap what we've covered so far. First, we reviewed CISSP's eight security domains and focused on threats, risks, and vulnerabilities to business operations.

Then, we explored security frameworks and controls, and how they're a starting point for creating policies and processes for security management. This included a discussion of the CIA triad, NIST frameworks, and security design principles, and how they benefit the security community as a whole. This was followed by a discussion about how frameworks, controls, and principles are related to security audits.

We also explored basic security tools, such as SIEM dashboards, and how they are used to protect business operations. And finally, we covered how to protect assets and data by using playbooks.

As a security analyst, you may be working on multiple tasks at once. Understanding the tools you have at your disposal, and how to use them, will elevate your knowledge in the field while helping you successfully accomplish your everyday tasks.

Coming up next in the program, my colleague, Chris, will provide more details about topics covered in this course and introduce you to some new core security concepts. I've enjoyed sharing this journey with you.
