One annual plan covers every course and certificate on Coursera. 40% off for a limited time.

his course covers the host-level and wireless attack surfaces that every security professional must understand and defend. Covering approximately 4 hours of expert instruction across endpoint threats, malware analysis, attack types, system hardening, and wireless network security, learners develop the skills to harden endpoints and protect wireless networks from a broad range of attacks. Learners benefit by understanding how to identify and analyze malware types, apply host-based security controls including antivirus, EDR, and application whitelisting, and implement wireless security protocols including WPA3 and 802.1X/RADIUS authentication. Online labs reinforce endpoint hardening and wireless security configuration tasks. By the end of this course, learners will be able to secure individual systems and wireless infrastructure against modern threats.
