Intro
Deployed Nextcloud on Azure VMs with NSGs and Azure Bastion. Least-privilege networking, secure authentication, basic monitoring, and a documented build. Practice toward platform protection and secure access. Lab environment only.
Hardened Linux file and directory permissions and corrected overly permissive settings. Same method as a support ticket: identify exposure, apply minimum access, record what changed.
Structured review of a simulated system. Prioritised risks and documented impact and remediation.
Built and maintain WordPress sites, including e-commerce. Themes, plugins, updates, backups, and fixes explained to non-technical users.
Course lab. Reviewed security controls, assets, and business-continuity gaps for a fictional company and recorded findings.
Course lab. Used the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to break down a sample incident and document response steps.
Course lab. Practised recording incident details in a simple journal format.
Course lab. Reviewed DNS and ICMP traffic from a sample capture, identified the protocols in use, and wrote a short incident note covering what was seen and what to record next.
Course lab. Reviewed DNS and HTTP traffic from a sample log, identified how the connection was made, and recorded basic brute-force prevention steps.
Course lab. Assessed a fictional breach scenario, listed likely weaknesses, and documented impact plus practical remediation notes.
Course lab. Practised tightening SQL queries so only required data is returned, and noted how that reduces unnecessary exposure.
