Every system has a weak point. This course teaches you to find it before someone else does. Here is what you will build: • Cloud and Infrastructure Security Find and close security gaps across AWS, GCP, and Kubernetes. Apply cloud hacking methodologies, Zero Trust principles, and container security in real scenarios. • Mobile Platform Security Understand how Android & iOS devices get compromised and how to stop it. Cover mobile penetration testing, OTP interception, jailbreaking, and real-world exploit techniques. • Encryption and Cryptography Know how data gets exposed through weak encryption and how to protect it. Apply cryptography, steganography, SSL/TLS, PKI, and disk encryption using VeraCrypt. • Application Attack and Defense Execute and shut down SQL injection, DoS, DDoS, and botnet attacks with confidence. Work with Kali Linux and AI-powered workflows to test and defend real environments. Delivered through engaging videos, practice assignments, & graded assignments. Rated 4.7 by learners. Join 200,000+ learners across 160+ courses on Coursera. Every day without these skills is a gap attackers can use. Start closing it now.

This intermediate-level System & Network Security course teaches you to think like an ethical hacker, spotting vulnerabilities, analyzing attacks, and defending infrastructure using real-world tools and techniques. You'll begin by mastering system hacking methodologies, password attacks, and authentication weaknesses, then dive into malware analysis, exploring viruses, worms, rootkits, Trojans, and today's AI-enabled threats and ransomware-as-a-service models. From there, you'll uncover how network sniffing, ARP poisoning, and honeypot evasion tactics work, and learn how firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) stand up against real attackers. The course also covers endpoint security and network access control, and dives into IoT and OT (operational technology) security, including industrial control systems and HMI-based attacks, so you understand how connected devices and critical infrastructure get compromised. You'll get hands-on with tools like Kali Linux, Nmap, Snort, Shodan, VirusTotal, PEStudio, Ettercap, and Netstat, alongside AI-powered pentesting demos and MITRE ATT&CK-aligned reporting. By the end, you'll have practical, job-ready skills in ethical hacking and network defense, a strong foundation for a career in cybersecurity.
