Course Description

The network mapper (Nmap) is one of the highest quality and powerful free network utilities in the cybersecurity professional's arsenal.Though this product is extremely well documented and demonstrated in many other courses, there are very few that provide a deep-dive into all its capabilities, functionality, use cases, and features. This comprehensive course will make you an expert in Nmap and arm you with the knowledge and skills necessary to make you a better network administrator and cybersecurity professional. Whether you are relatively new to networking, or a seasoned expert, this course will expand your knowledge and/or provide an excellent reference for using Nmap for a multitude of purposes. Are you a network administrator? Nmap can be your source for creating a detailed inventory of network assets. Are you a network security admin or incident responder? Nmap can help find the sources of almost every problem (threats, threat actors, and vulnerabilities) and help you eliminate them. Are you a penetration tester or ethical hacker? Nmap may be the single most important tool you can use to perform scanning, enumeration, banner grabbing, device fingerprinting and vulnerability scanning while evading firewalls and intrusion detection. Are you studying for a certification test? This course will provide you with detailed explanations of the most important Nmap commands and help you memorize them for test day.

This course is part of a Career Path:
Become a SOC Analyst - Level 2
This Career Path is for a Security Operations Center Analyst (SOC Analyst). This particular Career Path covers a more intermediate-level SOC role. As a SOC Analyst, your primary duty is to ensure that the organization’s digital assets are secure and protected from unauthorized access. That means that you are responsible for protecting both online and on-premise infrastructures, monitoring data to identify suspicious activity, and identifying and mitigating risks before there is a breach. In the event that a breach does occur, a SOC analyst will be on the front line, working to counter the attack. This career path is aligned to the Cyber Defense Incident Responder NICE/NIST Work Role.

Success from Our Learners

"Cybrary really helped me get up to speed and acquire a baseline level of technical knowledge. It offers a far more comprehensive approach than just learning from a book. It actually shows you how to apply cybersecurity processes in a hands-on way"

Don Gates

Principal Systems Engineer/SAIC

"Cybrary’s SOC Analyst career path was the difference maker, and was instrumental in me landing my new job. I was able to show the employer that I had the right knowledge and the hands-on skills to execute the role."

Cory

Cybersecurity analyst/

"I was able to earn my CISSP certification within 60 days of signing up for Cybrary Insider Pro and got hired as a Security Analyst conducting security assessments and penetration testing within 120 days. This certainly wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Cybrary mentor community."

Mike

Security Engineer and Pentester/

"Becoming a Cybrary Insider Pro was a total game changer. Cybrary was instrumental in helping me break into cybersecurity, despite having no prior IT experience or security-related degree. Their career paths gave me clear direction, the instructors had real-world experience, and the virtual labs let me gain hands-on skills I could confidently put on my resume and speak to in interviews."

Cassandra

Information Security Analyst/Cisco Systems

"I was able to earn both my Security+ and CySA+ in two months. I give all the credit to Cybrary. I’m also proud to announce I recently accepted a job as a Cyber Systems Engineer at BDO... I always try to debunk the idea that you can't get a job without experience or a degree."

Casey

Cyber Systems Engineer/BDO

"Cybrary has helped me improve my hands-on skills and pass my toughest certification exams, enabling me to achieve 13 advanced certifications and successfully launch my own business. I love the practice tests for certification exams, especially, and appreciate the wide-ranging training options that let me find the best fit for my goals"
