Cybersecurity Roles, Processes & Operating System Security

A one-day course on cybersecurity fundamentals — SOC roles, ITIL processes, the CIA triad, AAA, access control, OWASP Top 10, Windows/Linux/macOS security, virtualization and the cloud.

Cybersecurity is not a single skill — it is an ecosystem of roles, processes and technologies

Want to get into cybersecurity but don’t know where to start? SOC, CISO, pentester, analyst — those are the roles. ITIL, the CIA triad, AAA — the processes and principles. Windows hardening, Linux chmod, the OWASP Top 10 — the technologies. This training brings all of these elements together in one day — a map of the fundamentals from which you start your specialization.

A one-day training: from security roles and processes (SOC, ITIL, metrics), through principles (CIA, AAA, access control, OWASP), to operating system security (Windows, Linux, macOS) and cloud security (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS).

Who is this training for?

For people entering cybersecurity or expanding their IT skills with security. Especially when:

You are an IT administrator and want to move into cybersecurity — you need a map of roles, processes and fundamentals
You are preparing for a certification (CompTIA Security+, IBM Cybersecurity) and need an overview of the topics
You are a developer and want to understand the OWASP Top 10 and the security of the operating systems your applications run on

One day: four modules of fundamentals

Module 1: Roles and processes — who does what in security (SOC, CISO, analyst), ITIL, metrics, continual improvement.

Module 2: Principles — the CIA triad (confidentiality, integrity, availability), AAA (authentication, authorization, accounting), access control (DAC, MAC, RBAC), OWASP Top 10.

Module 3: Operating systems — Windows (NTFS, permissions, hardening), Linux (shell, chmod, Kali Linux), macOS (security, recovery).

Module 4: Virtualization and the cloud — hypervisors, VMs, cloud models (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS), cloud security, strategy and compliance.

Training Topics

Frequently asked questions

Is this training for cybersecurity beginners?

Yes — these are the fundamentals. We cover roles (SOC, CISO), processes (ITIL), principles (CIA, AAA, OWASP) and OS security. It is ideal as a starting point before specializing (pentesting, SOC, cloud security). Basic IT knowledge is required.

Do we cover specific operating systems?

Yes — Windows (NTFS, permissions, structure), Linux (shell, chmod, Kali Linux on VirtualBox) and macOS (security settings, recovery). Plus virtualization and cloud security.

What is the format and duration of the training?

The training lasts 1 day (9:00 AM–4:00 PM) and is available online and on-site. An intensive program — 4 modules in one day.

Will I receive a certificate after the training?

Yes, every participant receives a personal certificate of completion issued by EITT.
