Malicious actors are motivated and influenced by a variety of factors, and one of the most effective security mechanisms organizations can employ is user awareness and training on security threats. Cybersecurity analysts must be aware of various types of attacks and how scripting languages and tools are used to execute these attacks. In this course, learn about threat actor types and their motivations and how security baselines facilitate the identification of non-compliant devices. Next, explore examples of social engineering attacks and use the Social-Engineer Toolkit (SET) to execute such an attack. Finally, examine the characteristics of malware types, common scripting languages, and how to recognize potential indicators of malicious activity. This course can be used to prepare for the CS0-003: CompTIA Cybersecurity Analyst+ exam.
