Security Tools & Infrastructure Testing
By External Provider
About this course
This course pairs two technically connected topics that share a common toolkit: security tools and infrastructure testing. Covering approximately 4 hours of expert instruction across command-line security tools, protocol analysis, network scanning, log analysis, and penetration testing techniques, learners develop the practical skills to assess and monitor security posture using real-world tools. Learners benefit by gaining hands-on experience with CLI tools, network scanners, vulnerability assessment tools, and social engineering test techniques — skills that are directly applied in the security operations and testing domains of the Security+ exam. Online labs reinforce tool-based security tasks. By the end of this course, learners will be able to use security tools to assess infrastructure, conduct authorized testing, and apply penetration testing concepts to improve organizational security posture.
