Welcome to module 4

We've learned a lot about Python together already, and we still have more to cover.
In this section, we're going to explore how a security analyst like yourself puts Python into practice.
As a security analyst, you will likely work with security logs that capture information on various system activities.
These logs are often very large and hard to quickly interpret.
But Python can easily automate these tasks and make things much more efficient.
So first, we'll focus on opening and reading files in Python.
This includes log files.
We'll then explore parsing files.
This means you'll be able to work with files in ways that provide you with the security-related information that you're targeting.
Finally, part of writing code is debugging code.
It's important to be able to interpret error messages to make your code work.
We'll cover common types of Python errors and ways to resolve them.
Overall, after completing this section, you'll have a better understanding of Python and how as a security analyst you can use it.
I can't wait to join you.
