What's inside

Syllabus

Arquitectura de Ciberseguridad en la Red de Computadores y en la Nube

Te damos la bienvenida al primer módulo del curso. En este módulo nos enfocaremos en conocer acerca de la arquitectura de la ciberseguridad en la red de computadores y en la nube. Para ello avanzaremos en consultar videos, lecturas y recursos interactivos, para luego animarte a completar un cuestionario de conocimientos adquiridos.

La ciberdefensa en la red

Bienvenidos al segundo módulo del curso. Durante este módulo aprenderemos acerca del funcionamiento de control de ciberseguridad en la red de computadores, los procesos y estrategia de defensa de la red, y estudiaremos acerca de las diferentes aproximaciones de la defensa de la red. Para ello nos enfocaremos en dos lecciones principales sobre principios de ciberseguridad y sus controles perimetrales y de red.

Seguridad en el Host

Bienvenidos al tercer módulo del curso. Durante este módulo estudiaremos la problemática de seguridad en el host y las medidas de seguridad que es posible implementar para mitigar los problemas. Host es un término que generalmente usamos para referirnos a un computador conectado a una red, pero también podría representar otros dispositivos con capacidad de cómputo. Este es un tema de interés tanto para las personas como para las organizaciones; para una persona las medidas de seguridad que pueda implementar en su propio computador (host) protegen sus datos y el acceso a servicios en línea, para una organización las medidas de seguridad implementadas en un host protegen los datos almacenados en ese equipo y pueden contribuir a la seguridad de la red interna de una organización y de otros equipos en esa red.

Cómputo Forense

Te damos la bienvenida al cuarto y último módulo de nuestro curso. En este módulo aprenderemos acerca del cómputo forense, sus métodos y procedimientos además de los procesos de recolección, adquisición y preservación de videncia digital. Avancemos hacia las actividades propuestas.
